In this chapter, the paranoiac and the autistic begin to get into an argument. The academic and the family become closer as the academic begins to take notice of one of the family's daughters, to whom he finds himself attracted to. He also finds that the autistic man finds his equation trivial, and begins to help him rapidly solve his equation system for the human molecule. The paranoiac becomes increasingly enraged when he finds that cameras have been installed (to aid in the constant adjustment of the apartment so that it is in even more harmony) and in a fit of rage murders the autistic man.
