In this short scene, we meet the young protagonist and his friend, who have just been engaged to each other by a "stranger" . The young protagonist asks his friend if they may live together as "a married couple" , and the young friend replies that he has just met the "mystery man" and wonders if he is the same man who proposed to his "little brother" a few months ago. The two young men discuss the possibility of living together, but the protagonist is too drunk to make a sound, so he asks the friend's advice. The friend tells him that the man in the street is not the same young man that he used to know, and that he is now twenty years old. The protagonist says that he was sure he had met someone, but that he does not know why the man is staying at his house, since he is too busy at work to drink. He asks the young man why he is staying with him, and he answers that he wants to "live with you." The young man says that the two of them will finalize their plans at the company the next day, but before he leaves, the protagonist asks the girl if she has forgotten something important. The girl says that she has, and she apologizes for being late.
