Plot: ?/9. The tempo was dull and slow. Scenes were incoherent and abrupt, interspersed with abstruse stream of consciousness.

After that, he agreed to help Eileen, a congenital blind novice, to accommodate her mind into visual impression and thus become a qualified therapist.
- Along with her dog that could speak, Eileen accepted the protagonist’s first therapy.
- The protagonist talked about the danger of his method upon the therapists while sending his son to the hospital. Eileen performed an emergency tracheotomy in the theatre.
( ABANDON ) (Because I have found that I read the wrong version, which accounted for the loose structure—lots of authors tended to prolong their original famous work so as to make more money. But seldom did they surpass the original ones. Typically, many of them, like this one, deteriorated the quality by jamming lots of lousy, crappy, and boring gibberish, and hence confused new readers attracted by the fame of the original one. In short, never read the longer adaption unless you are sure it is better.)
