When the murderer wakes up, he asks the doctor how he got there. The doctor tells him that he's been stressed out by the fact that the murderer has been trying to nurse him. When the doctor asks if the murderer is trying to seduce him, the murderer replies that he doesn't know. The murderer asks how the doctor became friends with his psychiatrist, and the doctor says that the doctor is "very affectionate" and that it has caused the psychiatrist some problems. The two of them talk about how much the murderer wasted on the lease, the deposit, and all of his savings. The narrator tells the murderer that if he were gone, he'd be "friendless" because they're friends.
