No prezhde chem on smozhet privesti svoi dela v poryadok, poyavlyayetsya dyavol s ochen neobychnym predlozheniyem. Temnaya sila obeshchayet prodlit umirayushchemu zhizn, no v obmen za kazhdyy dopolnitelnyy den odna veshch v mire budet ischezat bessledno. . .
S kazhdym ischezayushchim predmetom pochtal'on razmyshlyayet o zhizni, kotoruyu on prozhil, o svoikh radostyakh i sozhaleniyakh, a takzhe o lyudyakh, kotorykh on lyubil i poteryal.
