The kissing gives Daniel the desire to write a poem titled “Ode to a Kiss”. Outside the norebang, everything seems different. Natasha contemplates about going back, but remembers about reality and pretense, and chooses to live in reality. She intends to take him to the Museum of Natural History, her favorite place in New York. He, on the other hand, wants her to show that she acknowledges whatever is happening between them. Daniel wants to stay calm but is unable to, questioning the reason for her fear. Although Natasha dislikes pretense, she decides to pretend as if she does not know the things he is asking about. He tells her that they are meant to be, but she says that love does not exist. She even asks him not to tell her how he feels, and ultimately tells him about the deportation issues. The words seem heavy to him.

Natasha admits to herself that being with him has been blocking other people all day. She only notices him, and feels guilty for not telling him earlier. More importantly, she never expected to be feeling the way she does at that moment. Everything changes and they start to argue. They talk about dreams, and she compares him to her father. Nonetheless, he stills thinks about her in a love-sided manner, contemplating about her hair with pink tips. She wants him to leave and makes him feel guilty for not caring of how she feels about the deportation. She thinks that he is looking for someone to save him, and whatever is happening between them is not love. For these reasons, Daniel starts to re-evaluate things like destiny, fate and “meant to be”. He thinks people only lie to themselves about things happening for a reason, and he considers Natasha right even though he fails to stop or follow her as she walks away. The narrator talks about “Fate: A History”, referencing the Greek mythology about the three sisters of fate. She also talks about modern society and people believing in fate, and holding onto the idea that things happen for a reason. She says that Natasha has no share in believing in fate, and for that, she differs from Daniel largely.
