He reflects on the beauty of the city while grappling with feelings of longing and uncertainty about his place in the world. As he navigates the bustling streets, he encounters various people and places, which intensify his emotional journey. The depiction of the city's atmosphere serves as a catalyst for Helge's introspection, hinting at the transformative experiences that await him as he interacts with others, including several intriguing women and artists.
