Dr. Bledsoe wakes up in the middle of the night. He's not sure what to make of the strange woman he's just met. He doesn't know why she suddenly appeared before him, but he does know that there's no scientific evidence of the existence of dragons. He also realizes that he was too stressed preparing for his exams. He wonders if she's afraid to touch his face, but she'd never be afraid to be eaten by a dragon. He realizes that if he could feel pain, he'd know that he wasn't imagining things. He thinks that she was probably going to yell at him for being a dragon, but instead, she ended up suffering. He feels bad for hurting her, but can't figure out what's wrong. He tries to calm her down by saying that he'll have a good night's sleep when he gets back, but that he still has a lot of work to do before he can go back to his regular job as a doctor.
