Miriam is sick at heart. Her husband suffers like the Messiah. They speak about Adam, the Messiah and Sisyphus and then the man goes for a walk. While walking, he listens to music and thinks about what Miriam had said to him. As he reaches home, his heart feels as heavy as Miriam’s.
The man wakes up and goes to the kitchen. He sees Miriam dead on the ground. He takes headphones from her ears and listens. It is the same song he had heard in his dream.
