The Governess is worried about her brother, who is playing the piano. She tries to get him to leave the room, but he refuses, saying that he is a "grim reaper" and that he wants to see what has happened to him. He tells her that when he first came to the school, all the other students and angels heard his piano playing, and he wanted to come see what had happened to his brother. She tells him not to corrupt his little brother.
