In this short scene, we learn that we're back in the "buff cafe" , where we've come to find out that the narrator, Elmire, has left a message for Darnay in the back of the car. She's going to deliver it to him, but first, she wants to make sure that he's okay. Elmire tells us that she's sorry that she left the message, but she can't stop herself from thinking about it. She says that every time she thinks about it, she feels vulnerable again, and she blames herself for making her feel this way. She tells Elmire to remember that she did her best, and not to blame herself for what happened.
