Luckily or unluckily, he survives and wakes up in a hospital bed. The trauma of his body worsens his condition. Looking around, he can't see his mother. With his life hanging by a thread, the protagonist reflects on his life, reconsiders the rift between him and his mother, and finally breaks down the wall between them.
