In a soliloquy, Dr. Bledsoe tells Lockwood that he's afraid of the reaper. Lockwood says that he doesn't know why Lockwood didn't try to avoid death like he did today. He's a coward, he says, because the reapers are so scary. He suggests that Lockwood pull on his hair to distract them. He says that if they don't grab his hands, he can pull on that hair and distract them with the sound of his tapping on the side of his head. He also says that when Lockwood calls out to him, he also has to buy himself a little time to get his medicine. He thanks Lockwood for saving him, and says he wants to remember all of them when they're gone. He tells Lockwood to write down all of the important things that he needs to remember, and to hide them in a notebook so that they won't be forgotten when he gets home.
