The picture fades back into the present. Nikki
has finished reliving the past month in his mind. Suddenly, the reality
of Mary's death and his imprisonment hit him full force. He cries
out, feeling abandoned, empty, and alone.
The ticking clock adds great effect to this short
song. It brings us back into the present, and gives us insight into
the unrelenting torture Nikki experiences. In essence, time goes
on and so does Nikki's anguish. The wall comes up again, but this
time a chalk outline of Mary's dead body is on it. This demonstrates
how the message on the wall spelled Nikki's doom. Mary's death means
he loses what he loved most and, on top of that, he has been arrested and
charged with the murder. His life has been utterly destroyed.
