The next time we see the maid, she's on her way to work. She's just moved into her new apartment, and she tells us that her next-door neighbor lives on the same floor as hers, and he's been living there for a long time. The maid wants to be friends with him, but she can't see how he could live beyond her door. She tells him that she'll have to defend him from his "bitter end" by showing him around the neighborhood. She wants to know if he'll be able to do that, too. He's too different from her, she tells him, to continue living her life as she does. She begs him to show her around, but he refuses, saying that his apartment is a "garbage collection point" . She asks him to talk to her in her apartment, because it's actually a "remarkably messy room" , which is why she has to talk in her room. She says that her ex-boyfriend rejected her completely, and that's why he rejected her as well .
