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.
But I can't bear to stand here,
watching Noé get hurt.
ich ertrage es nicht länger,
mitansehen zu müssen, …
no soporto quedarme aquí,
viendo cómo lastiman a Noé.
no puedo quedarme aquí
viendo cómo hacen daño a Noé.
je ne peux pas rester les bras croisés
alors qu’il souffre.
Non posso stare a guardare 
mentre qualcuno fa del male a Noé. Non voglio!
Mas não suporto ficar aqui,
vendo Noé se machucar.
