Janu visits the student common room and encounters Nirima. Nirima greets him with condescension, labeling him a "wanderer" for frequenting a space meant for the students he teaches. Janu defends his presence by stating that the students alleviate his boredom. Their conversation quickly turns confrontational as Nirima mocks Janu’s intellect, prompting him to accuse her of trying to belittle him. Nirima openly confirms his suspicion. The interaction ends abruptly when Janu, feeling he has gained a small victory by being "a point ahead" in their verbal sparring, decides to leave. Nirima dismisses him, sarcastically wishing him well as he departs.
