His fondest memories of his mother remain going to pray at a Buddhist temple with her – fondly recalling the admiration in her eyes when she saw him praying diligently. Since then, he has become something of a delinquent. His phone has also broken. He wants to steal money from his father to buy a new one, but the older man wakes up in a rage.
