Nia suffers a burn on her fingertips from hot soup, worrying those around her since she is a pianist who cannot afford hand injuries. Her boyfriend stays devotedly by her side through every hospital visit, dressing change, and even feeds her, showing tender care that others envy. Meanwhile, Vera, who has much more severe burns, lies isolated and without visitors. Jason, presumably connected to Vera, has not sent any message or shown concern. Vera decides to move on, declaring she has already let Jason go and that whoever he loves now is no longer her concern.
