The doctor arrives at the palace to treat the injured prince. The doctor tells the prince that the old man is not a doctor, and that he should not worry about the prince's injury. The prince asks the doctor to leave, but the doctor refuses, saying that he would rather be the one injured than the one who has been shunned. He says that if he were the one hurt, he would be broken, and he would make sure it did not happen to him. Later, the doctor says that the prince does not look his usual self, and the doctor wonders if something happened between the two men. He compares the prince to a "lone wolf" and says that there is still much work to be done before the two can be reconciled.
