- The next day, the "rules" governing her new animal life mean that she's not allowed in the garden to get food. The reason? The gate to it is shut. Okay then...
- From this, and from the other "rules" she had sniffed out the previous day, she realizes that "they" can't be anywhere enclosed, which is why she can't be in the cabin or the garden anymore.
- So, she forages for food outside.
- As the day progresses, she says her vision has somehow changed—for example, she can now see through her own skin. It all sounds a little bit like a hallucination. Well, she did eat some mushrooms the day before…
- A bit later, she sees her mother in front of the cabin. As the narrator walks toward her, she (the mother) disappears.
