Janu approaches Oki while she is meditating, failing to sneak up on her. Oki explains that she can sense his presence through her heightened senses and his heavy-footed walking. She suggests that instead of trying to startle her, Janu should simply sit and greet her in the future. The two discuss the concept of a "mental journal," with Oki explaining how she manages her thoughts in a "special place" within her mind.
As they talk, Oki notes a spiritual similarity between them—both tend to shut out the world, though they do so in different ways. Oki suggests they practice meditation together to discover the "unusual" qualities they each possess, proposing they meet in the garden. When Janu questions how Oki is so certain that he will return to the garden, she falls silent, leaving Janu with a strange, lingering sense of curiosity and an urge to see her again.
