Janu enters the kitchen to find Nirima, Anii, Mori, and Nokana arguing. Nirima boasts about being at the top of their class academically, leading to a confrontation where Anii and Mori mock her arrogance. Janu is presented with a choice: he can validate Nirima’s ego or inform her that Tuli actually holds the top academic position.
If Janu validates Nirima, she remains self-absorbed, and Mori continues to mock her for "kissing her own ass." If Janu reveals that Tuli is the top student, Nirima reacts with denial and disbelief, while the others remain unimpressed by her reaction. Following the argument, Anii finishes cooking a soup, which the group eats together. The event concludes with Janu leaving the kitchen while Nirima and the others continue their bickering, leaving Janu hopeful that Nirima didn't take their harsh words too much to heart.
