The next morning, the Governess tells the boy that his sister is coming home from school. The Governess asks the boy if he's hungry, and the boy says that he is. He tells her that he wants to go home because his sister's brother has come to see him. He says that his brother is begging him to come see him, and that he can do so from behind a curtain. The boy says he can't do that, because he'll have a nightmare with a vampire in his room. He's not going to let that happen, he says. He begs the boy to bring his brother in, and he promises that he will do whatever he asks. He promises to spare his sister if she does something that upsets him. The servant says that the boy is fine, and sends him to the best hospital in the capital to get treatment. The girl is upset, but the servant reassures her that her brother is fine
