The servant asks why the young man hasn't told him what he meant when he said he'd bring his "secret love" to the tomb. The servant says he's always wanted to bring his love for the man back to his master, but he doesn't have the courage to do so. He tells the servant that he'll do whatever the master wants, even if it means abandoning him. He says he loves the man, and that in the end, he became a "greedy sinner." The servant tells the master that the master is taking away his "last thing about him" . He's sorry, he says, because he didn't do his job well. He promises to forget the servant, and says they've been lovers for a long time, and they're going to keep it a secret.
