During lunchtime, Janu visits the school cafeteria for ramen, where he encounters Hana and her visiting cousin, Zena. Zena, recently returned to Japan from England, displays a sarcastic and irreverent personality that contrasts sharply with Hana’s uptight demeanor. During the exchange, Zena reveals that she will be attending the school starting on Monday. Zena takes an immediate interest in Janu, asking him for his professional opinion on the school environment and probing his personal life, specifically whether he has any favorites among his students. Janu notices that Zena looks familiar, though he cannot pinpoint where they have met. After Hana leaves to get their food, Zena continues to question Janu, maintaining an enigmatic attitude. Once Hana returns, she resumes lecturing Zena about her behavior. The scene concludes with Janu struggling to enjoy his meal due to the constant interruptions from the two cousins, leaving him even more convinced that he has met Zena before and eager to uncover the truth when they interact again at school.
