TheThey then leave the wagon, and walk past villagers to the cold spring for the riskritual bath. Here Painter realizes he will have to undress. Yumi insists she must bathe as well, before disrobing and entering the water. She asks Nikaro not to look, and he closes his eyes as Chaeyung and Hwanji approach, also naked, and lead him into the water. They wash him, not seeming to notice any anatomical anomalies. At one point Painter slips, causing him to open his eyes, and he catches Yumi staring at him. She apologizes and they return to bathing. They touch again, by accident, and this time notice an exchange of emotions that comes with it. They finish bathing and the attendants leave. Painter reflects on his situation, recalling he needs to report the stable nightmare still, but decides for now all he can do is help Yumi.
