Janu returns to the bookstore to resolve the tension surrounding his previous, unexplained "episode" where he physically restrained Nirima. Having learned that Nirima and Tuli have reconciled, Janu seeks to clear the air regarding his own behavior. Nirima initially remains guarded and apprehensive, demanding an explanation rather than a casual apology for the incident.
Janu admits that he suffers from inexplicable episodes where he loses control of himself and cannot recall his actions, emphasizing that his behavior toward her was the first time he had ever hurt or frightened someone else. Impressed by Janu's genuine fear that he might have harmed her and his desire to improve, Nirima chooses to maintain his secret rather than reporting him to the authorities. She psychoanalyzes Janu, suggesting that he is not a psychopath but a man struggling with an internal burden he wishes to overcome. The two acknowledge their mutual trust issues and establish a deeper bond as friends. The scene concludes with a tentative truce, as Nirima agrees to support him as a confidante, and Janu feels a sense of relief that their relationship has stabilized.
