The next morning, Shu-Liang wakes up. He tells xiaoya that he saw a ghost in his house and that his mother gave him holy water to protect him from the ghost. He drops the holy water on the table and breaks it, which he thinks is a dream. Shu-Ling tells sally that she gave him a business card for a clinical psychologist and that she will be coming to see him the next day. He asks her to stop worrying about imaginary ghosts, and he tells her that if she never met him, she would wonder where she would be now, and how would her days be like if she were not there. She tells him that he is the only one she cares about, and she tells him to stop being mad at her. She says that she forgives him for what he said, but that he should not be mad at herself for what she did. Shu says that the holy holy water is made of cow's tears, which can protect you from evil forces if it is put between your eyebrows, but if you smear the water on your face, you will get supernatural things. He says that this is like a ghost kept in a house by someone who has been keeping it, and that he says that he still cannot believe what he is saying.
