In this chapter, the narrator compares the smell of the other side of the room to that of the kitchen. He compares the cooking technique of the two men to a puff pastry. He says that the puff pastry tastes like a "pure white palace" and that he cannot decide which of them is better. The narrator comments that there are "new comments" in the stream and that they are from people who have been affected by the pandemic. He tells the narrator to knock on the door of one of the men and ask him what is going on. The man tells him that he is a community volunteer and that his cooking technique is just as good as the cooking of the man from the previous chapter. He adds that a healthy and balanced diet is essential during the pandemic because an unbalanced diet leads to physical discomfort, decreased immunity, and other symptoms.
