Act 6 - Scene 1 - Back To Present: Henri is back to the place where he loses consciousness. He looks around confusedly. His colleagues notice that Henri stares at the bas-reliefs for a long time. They walk to him and about to touch the Apsara on the wall when Henri holds his hand to prevent them from doing that and said to them that “We should not disturb her. Our great duty is waiting for us. No matter how tiring and difficult it is, we must try to accomplish. Let’s go.� Henri leads the group into the temple. The carving of Apsara on the wall smiles. Light illuminates the temple displaying its great grandeur.
