Walser leaves Fevvers' hotel to wander through the cold streets once again. His emotions are in a state of confusion because for the first time he has to look within himself. This self-reflection is brought on by the fact that he can no longer write, due to his injured arm. He also admits to himself that he loves Fevvers.
