The next day, the two men who picked up the girl are back in town. They invite her to dinner as their thanks. They tell her that they have seen the couple in the flesh, and that they are confident that they will be able to protect her. They remind her that she is the only one who cares for her, and they will do their best to keep her safe before she leaves for Europe. The two men leave, and the girl asks them what they would do if she were the same as su en. She says that she would tell him what had happened to her, hope that he would protect her, endure alone, and not worry about her.
