Set in a hospital, the story revolves around an old-fashioned man who is adamant about the dangers of night air, expressing his discontent with the nurse’s carefree attitude. His persistent warnings and resentment towards her create a tension that highlights generational differences in beliefs about health and care. Through his interactions, the narrative explores themes of control, tradition, and the clash between old and new perspectives on well-being. The man's reflections on advice from his mother add depth to his character and motivations.
