When he asks when he became his slave, Lisboa tells him that since they signed the pact, he's been his slave. Lisboa says that the pact has the "soul imprint" of his blood, but it's really just a seven-day-a-week pact that punishes those who violate the pact. He tells Lisboa that he hasn't had a good meal in a long time, and that he wishes he were choked to death. He says that he just ate a tiny bit of the dish, and Lisboa asks if he dares eat the whole thing. He's so sympathetic to him that he even adds some "mind-calming flower pollen" to make him feel better. He asks if the books he borrowed from the library were broken, but Lisboa points out that they were easy to get because the library was closed. He also says that starting tomorrow he'll be learning how to cook again. He curses Lisboa to go back to bed.
