Janu visits the hair salon and engages in a playful, flirtatious conversation with Tora, who reveals she recently put new highlights in her hair after a mishap at a school pool. Tora expresses genuine joy at Janu's presence, leading to a lighthearted exchange about Janu's feelings for her. Their interaction is interrupted by the arrival of Tora’s sister, Tami, who owns the salon.

After Tami playfully introduces herself and flirts with Janu, he decides to depart, leaving the sisters alone. The scene concludes with the narrator noting that Tora slammed her head against her desk in frustration or embarrassment as he walked away, leaving him to wonder if Tami's offer for a discounted haircut was genuine.
