A kind doctor, whose personal loss has shadowed his once cheerful demeanour, as he makes his way to Herr Sesemann's abode, is unaware of how this day will bring a mission that might not restore the happiness he has lost, but will certainly sprinkle a touch of purpose and warmth onto his path.

Surrounded by the different characters in the story, each with their own tales of loneliness and yearning, we embark on a journey that transcends the mere physical preparations for travel. This chapter delves into the emotional voyages that we undertake, sometimes without moving, and portrays how, amidst despair and deep-seated pain, the promise of a visit to a child in the Swiss Alps becomes a beacon of hope for rejuvenation.
