| 25 | The moon is gone and in its place a mirror. | ||
| 26 | Looking at the night sky now yields nothing but the viewer's own face as viewed from a million miles, surrounded by the landscape he is only vaguely aware of being surrounded by. | ||
| 27 | He believes that he is [alone][], surrounded by desert and mountain, but behind him---he now sees it---someone is sneaking up on him. | ||
| 28 | He spins around fast, but no one is there on [Earth][]. | ||
| 29 | He looks back up and they are yet closer in the night sky. | ||
| 30 | Again he looks over his shoulder but there is nothing, not even a desert mouse. | ||
| 31 | As he looks up again he realizes it's a cloud above him, which due to optics has looked like someone else. | ||
| 32 | The cloud blocks out the moon which is now a mirror, and the viewer is completely alone. | ||
