Gaojun uncharacteristically appears lonely. Though Shouxue is concerned, she is unable to ask why. Several days later, Gaojun visits Ye Ming Palace to show her a haunted mask. The ghost haunting the mask apparently responds to a type of foreign lute. The problem is solved when Gaojun is able to provide such a lute. Gaojun tries to leave, but he is stopped by Shouxue.
He screamed for the return of his lute 
and banged on the door.
صرخ طالباً إعادة عوده له، وضرب على الباب
Er forderte lautstark die Rückgabe
seiner Laute und schlug gegen die Tür.
Il m’a hurlé de le lui rendre,
वह अपना साज़ उसे लौटाने के लिए 
चिल्लाता रहा और दरवाज़ा पीटने लगा।
Lui urlò, dicendo che
voleva indietro il suo strumento,
Ele gritou para devolver
o biwa e bateu na porta.
Всю ночь он кричал,
требовал отдать лютню, колотил в дверь.
