Céline is brought back to her home in the “Vieux Moulin” by the latter, and almost immediately attempts suicide by swallowing sleeping pills and throwing herself into the property's pond.

However, Céline becomes more and more absorbed in meditation exercises, and begins to develop paranormal powers: she proves capable of mentally projecting herself elsewhere, has premonitions (she thus avoids a fatal car accident which takes the life of a friend of the two girls), and finds herself in two places at once by bilocation.

This spiritual ascension of Céline continues to crescendo, to the point that beneficial phenomena, which resemble miracles, occur around her, in particular spontaneous healings (first that, benign, of a few small child scratches, until to that, major, of a paralytic who regains the use of his legs in his proximity).

Even more, Céline feels irresistibly attracted towards what she calls (for lack of a better term) "God", to the point of managing to merge with the divine during her meditation sessions.

Leaving Geneviève alone and distraught, Céline explains to her in a letter that she has entered the orders, that the paranormal phenomena have ceased around her, and that she is sent, perhaps for life, on a mission to the Chinese border (and incidentally that she donated the property to her).

Luminous and pure, Céline chases away the apparition, and slips a ring on Geneviève's finger consecrating their eternal friendship (and proof of the objective reality of events) before disappearing.

In the early morning, Geneviève, very much alive, then makes the decision to get into a serious relationship with her friend Gérard, and to open a shared office with him in the house, while outside, the sun shines and nature pulsates.
