The next morning, the old man tells the young man that he wishes he could go on a trip with the school's traveling club. The young man says that he thinks he could do so if he went back to school. The old man asks him what he's been up to lately. He asks about his brother, who seems to be getting more and more self-aware. The man tells him that he doesn't need to ask his brother anything, since he can just look at him and act like he does. He also asks if he saw something on the trip that made him feel "im- somehow . . gulp . new world" . The girl says that she's noticed something in her friend's eyes that made her feel better about acting. She also says that her friend is worried that her man is cheating on her, but she says that's not the case. She's just worried that his sister will judge him or reject him. The party is coming up on Sunday, and the girl wants to be a part of it. She wants to wear a necktie to the party. The teacher tells her that the school rules don't allow students to wear neckties, so she should either wear them loose or take them off
