But the heart split because of its separation from the young Louise Hauser Ulrich is hardly pleased with having to spend so much time isolated in the world. If at the beginning, everything goes regularly and even a bit of monotony, the situation quickly becomes nightmarish.
The old Hari disappeared during an attempt to hunt. Left alone with Sam at the inn, Ulrich tries to find the cutting through the mountain. However, it is a failure.

To escape, he sinks into alcoholism and madness swallowed.
