As soon as she arrives, the fairy is startled by the sound of a boy's voice. She realizes that it must be a girl, and she rushes to investigate. She finds that the blanket fairy has been replaced by a boy, and that the girl is maria. The fairy is horrified that she has been tricked into believing that she is a virgin girl who has fallen in love with a man. She begs the fairy not to use magic on her, since she will be able to smell her scent on the scene, even if she leaves the room. She wonders if anyone has been suspicious of her, and wonders if maria has been acting like a spy for the fairy. She also wonders if the humans have said anything about the afterlife. She decides to run away as soon as they disappear.
