Ahmet confirms that he fought the fears of reality, and calmly went to the prison cell. He described the road to it as gradually getting dark. Faces of prisoners were like wax masks, and their clothes reminded the shipwrecked pieces with no shape.

Policemen thought they locked him, but he was far away dreaming about historical figures his father narrated and he read about in childhood. The phrase “I only smoke when I’m nervous” becomes an important detail going through the story.
