Janu finds himself back in a dream sequence centered on a railway train, where he contemplates his loneliness and frustration with his existence. He engages in a hostile internal monologue directed at the "whispers" he perceives around him, expressing a deep-seated resentment toward those who judge his social isolation and perceived lack of progress in life.
The scene shifts abruptly to a busy shopping mall, where Janu experiences a recurring nightmare of being abandoned by his parents. Distressed and struggling to communicate with bystanders, he flees the crowd in a panic and accidentally runs into a stranger playing the piano. This man, who refers to himself as "Piano Guy," offers Janu comfort and a sense of safety. As they talk, Janu (identified as Kio in this dream context) reveals his feelings of inadequacy, the pressure he feels from his parents, and his conflict with his cousin. Piano Guy encourages him, suggesting that music serves as a unique sanctuary from the judgment of others. The event concludes with a moment of mutual appreciation as Kio finds solace in the stranger's performance, feeling less alone before waking up.
