One of the guests at the hotel is a mysterious woman dressed in white and accompanied by a nurse. This turns out to be Saktam. She has been mar- ried twice, and has been in a mental hospital. She seems to be in the grip of a "living death", and in a painful con- frontation she accuses Saktam Lakpa of having ruined her life and stolen her soul. For his part he begs her to come back to him so that he can regain his creative power. The two of them go up into the mountains to become lovers again. Near the top they meet Sakhenbi and Lamlanba. A storm blows up, and Sakhenbi and Lamlanba go down the mountain into safety, while Saktam and Saktam Lakpa go on towards the peak, where they die.
