Janu continues his attempt to replicate his initial routine in Jhizonyu by visiting the school sports track, where he encounters Tuli. They discuss the "Two Souls, One Body" phenomenon, confirming that Tuli is beginning to share memories with the version of herself from Janu's original world. Tuli, who has recently started coaching a first-year student and sporting a new haircut, invites Janu to run laps and eventually visit a rustic pool hall, which serves as her secret escape.
At the pool hall, they run into Ryu, who engages in playful banter and informs them of a housewarming party happening the following day. Janu reflects on the difficulty of maintaining a platonic distance from his students now that they are young adults. After Ryu and Tuli compete in a game of pool, Janu declines to face the winner and walks home, feeling an unsettling premonition after spotting a shooting star he chooses not to wish upon.
