Kong Xian interprets Zhen De's intentions positively, claiming she seeks a noble goal to aid the homeless, which resonates with the crowd, leading to applause.

Tensions rise among the members, leading to discussions about their changed roles and the lingering scars of their former lives. In summary, the chapter juxtaposes the light-heartedness of public interactions with Zhen De against the somber reflections of Orson in the Northern Territory and the disgruntlement of the patrol group, showcasing both personal and societal transformations in a changing world.
