Para gumaling ang sakit ng kapatid, ibinigay niya ang sarili sa isang kakaibang lalaki. Makalipas ang isang taon, sa isang party kasama ang mga kaibigan ng kanyang bagong boyfriend, idiniin siya ng lalaki sa dingding ng banyo. Ikinawit niya ang gilid ng pantalon nito gamit ang mga daliri, "Sa kama niyan noong isang taon, 68 beses mong tinawag ang pangalan ko." Ang ilan ay nasa hindi matiis na sakit, at ang ilan ay galit na galit na humihingi ng awa. "Maling tao ang nakilala mo, hindi pa kita nakikita." Si Isabella ay tumakas sa gulat at bumalik sa kahon, ngunit hinila siya ng kanyang kasintahan sa lalaki, "Ang uri ng gamot na makapagliligtas sa iyong kapatid ay magagamit lamang ni Master Nicklaus." Ibinaba niya ang kanyang postura at malungkot na nakiusap: "Master, please." Ipinasok ni Nicklaus ang sigarilyo sa kanyang bibig, kinagat ang dulo gamit ang kanyang mga ngipin, na may malamig na mukha at isang malamig na puso, ngunit ang kanyang mga mata ay sumalo sa kanya at hinila siya pabalik sa kabaliwan ng gabing iyon. Ang abo ay pumasok sa kanyang nakalaylay na kwelyo, at si Isabella ay nanginginig sa init, ngunit hinawakan ni Nicklaus ang kanyang kamay at hinila siya palapit. "Marami akong gamot, ano gusto mong palitan?"
