The narrator tells the audience that the family treasures include three things: books, medicine, and tea. He says that the exhibition is a good opportunity for the family to get back on its feet, and that the marriage is a bad idea because it puts too much importance on the rise of the family. The narrator then asks the audience what happened to Zbigniew while he was away. She says that he seemed to want to protect her, but that he is not the superman that she thinks he is. She wants to walk the road shoulder-to-shoulder with the audience, so that she will be able to negotiate the return of her family at all costs. The tea room is the perfect place for this conversation, because it has a peaceful atmosphere.
