It's fall, and the leaves are falling. The narrator laments that he's fallen so far, and now he has a second bottom waiting for him in the forest. He's not sure how to explain it, but he thinks it's just luck that he got a "margin call" from the monster hunter. He thinks that if he keeps his current position, he'll likely fall to another bottom. He wonders if he has hit his second bottom, too, and wonders if there's anything he can do to make it happen.
