On the boat, Tipu slips in and out of consciousness, claiming that there is a fire inside him; he also appears to recognize Rafi. Experiencing delirium, he claims that he is in the water and that snakes are coming for him, but he says that he is not afraid because they are wrapped around him and are trying to help him. Tipu convulses again, and Deen goes to relieve Horen at the wheel for a while. However, Horen soon returns, shaken. He witnessed Tipu asking Rafi about his real name, and when Rafi finally admitted that his true name is Ilyas, like his grandfather, Tipu calmed down and claimed to recognize him. Deen brushes this off.
Deen steps back into the cabin where Tipu is and overhears him telling Rafi that the shadows are leaving him and going after something else. He also insists that they must call Piya about someone named “Rani,” then loses consciousness. Deen calls Piya and tells her about Tipu. She is alarmed and immediately contacts a friend who has the right antivenins, which she will bring to Lusibari herself. Deen tells Piya about Rani, and Piya is shocked by the information; she promises to explain when they meet at the hospital.
