It's been almost an hour since Annie left the house and Paul who was blocked in the bed, paralyzed by the pain of the accident.
First when she came into the room shouting that he was a killer he thought that she was just really upset about the death of her favourite character. But it was something else, soon he realize.
She was a single woman living in the middle of the forest, this book was probably the only relation she had with humans. Suddenly he became emotional, this woman who seems tought was just a lonely girl in a lonely world.
This character was probably her «friend », she was following her story since the beginning. Maybe he was a killer ? Obviously not a real one but for her it was the same, the pain Annie felt was real. He never thought about the fact that he was hurting people with his books.
It was the last thought he had before he died, a feeling of guilt, just before his last breath he heard a door and a voice who seem very far but he knew that it was Annie. Then he repoups his last force to say to her :
-Sorry.
