Janu visits the common room and finds Nokana, who has stopped watching a documentary about squirrels. They discuss the extinction of red squirrels due to grey squirrels, leading to a lighthearted conversation about family feuds and the concept of blasphemy. The conversation shifts toward the education system, where Janu vents his frustrations about school not preparing students for reality.
Nokana poses a challenging question, asking why Janu contributes to this flawed system as a teacher. Stunned, Janu faces the choice of offering a random, improvised answer or retreating from the interaction. If the player chooses to provide an answer, Janu reflects on his "laid-back" teaching style, explaining that he allows students the independence to manage their own education. Nokana expresses appreciation for this autonomy, noting that it makes her feel more responsible. Janu remains uncertain about his long-term future at the school, while Nokana asks if he will prepare her for her future responsibilities, promising to follow up with him in a few months. If the player chooses to leave, Janu makes an awkward exit, internally questioning his own nonsensical role at the school.
