When Zillah wakes up, he tells his teacher that he's tired of waiting for Zillah to come and play with him. Zillah reminds the teacher that Zillah isn't at school anymore, so he can't go play with other kids. The teacher reminds Zillah that his parents didn't come to visit him when he was a kid, so they're not going to come visit him now either. When the teacher asks why Zillah hasn't picked her up, Zillah tells her that he was waiting for his parents when they died. When he was young, he felt lonely, worried, and irritated. His parents just abandoned him, he says.
