It seems not to be his own life he is living, but another, the life of some victim. It will all collapse. He wil have to find work, pay rent, walk home every day for lunch. He is weak suddenly, he doesn't believe in himself. She slips into the bed. A virtual panic comes over him. He lies motionless, his eyes closed.
