When the Governess arrives at the school, she is surprised to find that her son is missing his mask. The Governess tells her son that he has put the mask in the school's reception desk, but that she is not there to see him. She asks him if he is free to go anywhere, and he replies that he is not. She tells him that she has come to see her, but he does not respond to her. When she asks if she is a friend of his, he says that he and her are not friends. She then asks him who he makes friends with, and when he answers that he makes no friends, she accuses him of being a "sruchious" person. She also asks him whether he is trying to control his mother's life. He says that if he were a child, he would "try to control everything about my life" and decide what was best for him
