The next morning, the servant tells the young man that his master has lost his memory. The servant says that the master is as sane and happy as ever. The young man wonders if the master's meridians will start to flare up again after the detoxification, and the servant wonders whether the master will be able to recover from the poison that he has been suffering from for the past three years. He asks the servant if the servant has promised the master that he will forget all about the past and live a happy life. The butler replies that it is not bad for the master to forget what he has promised, as long as the master does not forget the promises that he made to the servant. He says that after losing the memory of his master, the master suddenly became very sweet to him, and he wonders if this is because the master has forgotten the promise he made.
