The narrator tells us that he doesn't care how happy a patient is when he sees them. He's just taken away from them by her. He tells us how he has fallen in love with his patient. He says that if you ever went to class, you'd know that a doctor can't have a romantic relationship with a patient. The narrator says that love is love, and that's what's important to him. He wants to know how his week went. He went shopping with his friend, and he told the company he can start work again next week. He asks if he still wants to wash his hands after his mother's death, and if there's anything else he'd like to discuss. He admits that he's not fully recovered yet, but he'll fade out of his life eventually. He also says that he wants to spend more time with him, but that this feeling isn't love, because it's all about how he presents himself as a doctor. He explains that this is because he acts like a "mirror" to the patient, and this is why he knows the patient so well. He won't let her come back, he says, because she'll never see him again.
