In this section, Bepin reflects on the encounter with Parimal Ghose and struggles to reconcile his strong memory with the possibility of having forgotten the Ranchi trip. He tries to recall any injury to his right knee but fails. Bepin considers consulting his friend Dinesh Mukerji, who was supposedly with him in Ranchi, but hesitates, fearing ridicule. Eventually, he calls Dinesh, who confirms being in Ranchi in 1958 and recalls the trip. This confirmation deepens Bepin's confusion and anxiety. The section highlights the psychological impact of memory loss and the conflict between personal belief and external evidence.
