The narrator tells us that he's leaving the city to do something "more interesting" . He's going to work for a landscaping company that's looking for engineers to build windbreaks in the middle of the desert to make it more usable land. The narrator says that he sent his resume to the company some time ago, but now that he has to deal with Fang's murder, he'll have to wait a few days before going. He also says that since his internship, he has been working late and doesn't have time to exercise. He says that Fang is determined to get his job back, and that he can't hold him back. He adds that he is a loser, and he'd rather be in his way than be with him. He wishes he could stay in the city and be happy, but he knows that he would only be happy if he were in his own way. He promises that he will always love Fang.
