In his room which he never leaves he writes about her and their conversations, their encounters and about animals with psychological problems. In this room which he never leaves he dreams about Hannah, about kissing and laying next to each other. It is here where he waits till the next visit of his mum, a small word with his neighbour or perhaps a visit of Hannah. But all at the sudden Hannah knocks on his door and introduces herself as Thera.
