After remembering and connecting Johnny’s story with her own, she quickly quits her job and rushes home determined to beat Sickness. While rushing up her apartment building stairs, there are several distractions in the hallway attempting to hinder her process from getting back to her room. Unfortunately, because morbidly obeseneighbor is engulfing half of the hallway. Devi decides to try and squeeze the fat, but gets stuck in the excessive amounts of fat. While in it, she hears a voice that claims to be the fat talking to her, it tells her that the fat is psychic and will seek to help her. It also shows a scene from her childhood in the first grade. In it, a young boy by the name of Spidgey Simons attempts to give her a Valentine’s Day card. However, Devi, being too young to understand, coughs chalk on his face and crumples up the card. The fat then tells her that it is more likely to be attacked than asthma attack, and he was only able to understand it. She is well informed that she has any chance of social goals. As Devi escapes the fat and makes it to her room, she finds Sickness no longer in her painting, but now in the form of a doll. Sickness then reveals that his whole plan revolves around using Devi’s mind as a way to grow stronger, and insists that if Devi tries to resist again, it will kill her.

It has been growing, but it has grown stronger, but it has been forced to grow. Sickness then tries to make a deal with such a power that is similar to Johnny’s such as the ability to get hurt, and the ability to do so. Devi at first appears to accept the deal, but when Sickness puts its guard down, Devi pins it to an art canvas with a paintbrush and removes its eyeballs. You have to be informed that you are in the right place, and you will be able to see what you are doing.
