In the middle of the night, the Governess comes out of her house to look out the window. She's excited to see the sunrise, but she's also worried about her son, who's grown up. She asks him to take her on a ride on the back of his bicycle. The Governess tells him that he's too heavy for her, but he says that he used to feel nothing when they were children, but now he can't find the "shadow of the past" in her eyes. She tells him to go back and rest, and then she'll come back to him.
