Mikhail tells Vanitas what he wants. Noé and Vanitas clash. Details emerge about why Vanitas shuns others and doesn't want them to peer into his memories. Dominique's life is on the razor's edge. Noé says he can't do the one thing Vanitas wants.
I couldn't go on living
if I were to lose him.
لن أتمكّن من الاستمرار في العيش إذا فقدتُه
Wenn ich jetzt auch noch Noé verliere,
werde ich das nicht überleben!
Si je le perds, lui aussi,
ma vie n’aura plus aucun sens.
Se dovessi perdere anche lui,
 non potrei più vivere.
Não poderia continuar vivendo
se o perdesse.
