Bran pushes the cottage door open just at sunset. He is still wearing the nightclothes he had on when he left the house; his eyes are glittery and strange, and he says nothing. Nevertheless some strain eases in Owen Davies' face when Bran enters.

Owen fries eggs and puts bread in the toaster. Bran eats the food set before him, but does not look at or speak to Owen. Owen, too, is silent.

Tonight, both of them go to bed early, but neither sleeps.
