Klemmer joj ostavlja mogucnost izbora: ja ili ti. On je vec odabrao: sebe. Ali u mojoj mržnji ti se ponovo radaš, tješi je iznoseci naglas svoj stav. Zlostavljajuci je i dalje, udarajuci je po glavi, baca joj mamac: Da vec nisi žrtva, ne bi mogla postati žrtva! Obasipajuci je udarcima, pita je gdje joj je sada njeno divno pismo. Odgovor je suvišan."
