The doctor tells the hospital student that he is safe and sound, but that he still has to go to the doctor's office every week for a regular check-up. The doctor asks the student if he would like to keep an eye on him, and the student says that he doesn't need to, as he can use his left hand to do whatever he wants. He tells the doctor that he will run away on the hospital's day of discharge, and that the doctor will be able to catch him if he agrees to help him. The student is amazed at how quickly the doctor can catch up with him. He says that his arm has healed, and he can dress in a disguise now. He asks the doctor if he is developing a feeling of "disgrace," and the doctor says that it is a sign that the student is developing an emotional reaction.
