It's noon, and the narrator is outside in the gloomy weather. He's worried that he's being watched. He hears a voice outside, and he thinks it's the voice of one of the members of the drama club. The narrator doesn't want to believe it, but he does want to know what's going on. He asks if anyone has been talking about the story in the store, and they all say that they haven't. He also asks if they heard anyone yell at them, and then he wonders if there's anything wrong with the three sisters of fate. He wants to know why they don't just leave the voice to the "pettifer" , the one who's supposed to tell them about the future. He tells them to shut up, because they're the ones who are supposed to be telling the future about them. He says that the eldest sister called him dimwit, and that the middle sister called her bitch, and so on and so forth. He wonders if the voice is telling him about the three goddesses of fate, but the narrator says no, he just wants to see the vision. He sees that the man's eyes are "deranged" and that he seems to be "a completely different person" . He thinks that maybe he has "post traumatic stress disorder" or some other condition that makes him crazy
