The narrator asks the doctor where Lin is, and the doctor tells him that he's already feeling better. He says that Lin's body temperature is going to drop quickly, and she's going to have to get used to the heat. The narrator says that he doesn't know what she used to like about the heat, but at least she has faith in him, and he promises to make this "just a small wave" in her life. He tells her to "have faith in me" , and they go off to take the car back to the apartment together. Lin asks if there's anyone coming out of the apartment, but the narrator says no one is coming out. He wants to test her "acceptable limits first right" . He consults a psychiatrist the night before and tells her that she shouldn't come in contact with anyone, but she can feel the "presence of people around" and "melt" in the car. She should relax a little bit, he says, and then she'll be able to "get used to it" and grow more courage. He asks if it's "too late" for him to give up, but he says he'd better "experience it properly" because he feels like he has a younger brother who's feeling the same way. He reminds her to remember that ordinary people feel the same fear when they're facing strangers, and that's why she feels the way she does. She tells him to calm down and to take note of his body, because he needs to "escape the heat in autumn"
