This chapter opens with a soliloquy by the sadistic secretary of the company. The narrator tells us that the secretary's voice always makes her sweet, and that she knows the secretary will be just fine. She tells the secretary that she can't forget about the secretary anymore, because he's no longer needed by her. She feels like she's losing her mind and that there's "another me" standing there watching the two of them "blur into each other." The narrator says that she hates what she has become. She says that the only reason she has been able to do this is because she wanted the secretary to do what she wanted him to do.
