A year earlier: Thiru works as a food delivery boy at Meal Monkey.
Later that day, when Thiru enters the room, Pothi and Bhaskar ask him about being treated in a mental health hospital.
Afterward, Thiru's Meal Monkey account gets blocked by the manager due to low ratings.
One night, while Thiru is delivering food, he talks with a girl, Subbu, but cannot see her because she did not open the gate.
He asked for Mangayarkarasi's debit card to pay the bill and told Subbu he would return the money.
Subbu refuses to give the debit card, so Thiru cuts the phone call, and an auto driver helps him pay the bill.
The mimicry artist talks like Mangayarkarasi, and Anitha tells her that she has a surprise gift for her, so she asks Subbu to open the gate.
Later that night, Thiru's father returns home and gives his son the chocolate, which was covered by his blood.
Anitha's uncle gives four lakhs to Subbu's father so he can let her go with them to America and work as a waitress in their hotel.
Subbu realizes that Aji and Anitha want to get her signature because Mangayarkarasi has registered the house in her name.
After finishing his bath, Thiru asks Bhaskar to forgive him for breaking the lock, and he cries because the photo of his father has been damaged.
Thiru takes Bhaskar's bike, rides it to the Meal Monkey office, and kills the company owner.
Then, when Thiru opens the gate, he has a hallucination where he sees his father on a bicycle and asks him why his clothes are dirty.
