Ana agrees. But something seems to be wrong: while going over the holiday photographs, Raúl notices that some of them reveal situations he does not remember happening. His obsession with Samuel starts again, so he decides to do research on him and approaches his house to prowl. Apparently, Samuel lets his dog off the leash to chase Raúl, who, in self-defense, kills the animal. The result is a bite in his leg. That night, Raúl thinks he can see the animal's ghost hanging around the house. Raúl, confused, checks he is not injured. Reality starts to crumble around him; the fears invading him seem to become real. In the view of his strange behavior, Ana decides to leave since their encounter has not worked out.
