This time there were no strange happenings; the two of them arrived safely at the place where Madwoman's sister currently lives.
Along the way, Kenneth Osborne subtly asked Lawrence Winters how he was giving directions earlier. Lawrence always shrugged: "It's just the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. Moving in different directions can give a labyrinth-like feeling. That's it."
Kenneth roughly understood that Lawrence "knew how to but didn't know why."
In other words, she knew how to achieve the effect but didn't understand why doing so would achieve it.
So he stopped questioning her. It wasn't until they reached the entrance of Madwoman's sister's apartment that Kenneth said, "Don't tell anyone about what happened just now."
