Act III
The figure in the grey robe lies once more on his back on the table, head toward the audience, surrounded by five figures in white who alternate in moving toward and away and around him. A male figure in white stands close most of the time and appears to be ministering to him. The two female figures in black robes and veils continue to dance seductively with their robes and veils around the table, but gradually they seem to decrease their presence and disappear into the background. The figure in violet stands to the right wiping his eyes and face and wringing his hands in grief.
Act IV
The figure in violet leads the figure in grey slowly in from the left side of the stage to the table and helps the figure in grey slowly lie back down, head toward the audience. The figure in violet then stands quietly by the figure in grey, stroking his right hand and shaking his head slowly up and down. The figure in grey slowly pats the hand of the figure in violet. Then both come to rest.
