Leah negotiates between Matteo and Jelka as tensions start to rise. Matteo is irritated by Jelka’s constant praying, and he wants better food and light. For her part, Leah becomes annoyed at the lack of mission; there is nothing down there for them to study, it appears. They also notice how strange it is that they have not run out of supplies. There seems to be far more of everything than would have been necessary for their original three-week mission. Lethargy sets in as time passes in a formless manner. Leah tries not to think of Miri, as it only makes her sad.

Miri continues to remember the past that she and Leah shared. Leah once took her to an old movie that featured giant crabs and other bad special effects. Leah mentioned how much she loves entering a movie theater when it is still light out only to emerge after dark.

Meanwhile, the therapist has sent them a bill for their Skype session; apparently, the Centre will not pay if one of the participants is missing. The Centre once again does not answer when Miri calls.

Miri talks to Leah about what they should do about her deteriorating condition, but Leah dodges the question, saying she feels fine.
