Sankha Narayan Twyana, the Eye Bank manager, places the extracted cornea into a preserving liquid. He will then rush back to the hospital to examine both corneas and to find a recipient who will come for the surgery the following day. Family and friends gather around Twyana as he completes the procedure. They start the cremation ceremonies shortly after his departure.
