When I did show up next door, at 6:34, it sounded like World War III had erupted in the house. I'd let myself in since no one answered the damn door.I can't believe you ate all the ice cream, Daemon!I cringed and stopped inside the dining room. There was no way I was going into that kitchen.I didn't eat all of it.Oh, so it ate itself? Dee shrieked so loudly I thought I heard the rafters in the ceiling shake. Did the spoon eat it? Oh wait, I know. The carton ate it.Actually, I think the freezer ate it, Daemon responded dryly.I grinned when I heard what sounded like the empty container hitting what suspiciously sounded like flesh.

In the scene, the narrator arrives at Daemon's house to find a chaotic atmosphere, reminiscent of a war zone. Despite nobody responding at the door, the narrator enters to witness a comedic argument over ice cream consumption. Dee is furious, accusing Daemon of eating all the ice cream, and their banter is filled with sarcastic exchanges about the ice cream disappearing as if it had a mind of its own.

Daemon's dry wit adds humor to the situation as he defends himself, suggesting absurdly that the food was "eaten" by the freezer. The tension escalates as Dee's exaggerated reactions and Daemon's nonchalant responses create a lively and amusing environment. The narrator watches this playful confrontation, reflecting on the dynamic between the characters.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

I believe there is another world waiting for us. A better world. And I'll be waiting for you there.
