When the narrator arrives at the hotel, he finds that his sister has gone to the hospital to see her father, who is in the hospital's intensive care unit. He asks his sister why she has come to see him, and she tells him that she has never spoken to him in a long time, and that if she did, she would have to go back and forth between the hospital and the city. He tells her that he has adopted her as his daughter and that she should not make her feel that she is a "foster child" . The narrator tells his sister that the man staying with her at the hospital looks just like the man who visited her when she was in her last moments of life, and he asks her to hurry up and get her back to her bed. He then asks her if she has ever committed suicide before, and her reply is that it is her third time. She asks him if he can sign autographs for her, and the narrator says that he and her sister have not seen each other in many years, but that they will soon see each other again.
