Synopsis
Dimitri apologizes to Leon for his long silence between letters, especially after promising he would return home. After vowing to come home, he tried to travel in his mysterious craft, but could only go so far. He found multiple cartoon-style tiny desert islands with only a solitary coconut tree. At one point, he rested on one such island and took the time to contemplate.

Dimitri admits that he feels guilty for abandoning Nica. He was angry that she wouldn't join him, but realized that he had been unfair to her, so he wrote her a long letter to apologize. He then set out traveling north, until his craft broke down in the middle of the ocean. Desperate, he set off a flare gun and waited.

Eventually, a man named Darby found Dimitri in the water. Darby told Dimitri that he had just turned 97 and asked Dimitri to row them back to shore. He said that Dimitri could thank him by helping maintain Darby's property. When Dimitri asked about leaving, Darby told him that he was in an Alaskan winter, and that the only things coming or going would be mail. Dimitri resolves to return home as soon as he can.
