This chapter opens with a conversation between a young man named Milos and a girl named Sarah. Milos tells Sarah that he lives in the same room as her. He tells her that she can hear voices in the walls of her room at night, and that one night, Dagmar pulled a lever on the wall that moved the room. She tells him that she is welcome in the "House of Whispers in the Walls." She asks him if he will let her talk to her, and he says that he does not want her to speak to anyone else. She asks if she is from where she came from, and she says that she came home from school one day and saw soldiers carrying out a child's body on a stretcher. She says that they are not alone in the hospital, and they are waiting for her. She wants to go to her room and tell her the truth, but the doctors will not let her leave the hospital.
