Tot worries that Vic will get carried away and kill someone. He points out to Vic that the young man is playing the vigilante. Vic denies it. Tot wonders where the reporter with the burning curiosity went. Vic goes to the hospital to visit Myra. Her gunshot wounds are healing but she is still in a coma. Tot's eccentric cousin comes Hub City to visit. He disappeared when he was in his teens after creating 18 issues of a wartime comic book. He spent his adult life in New Guinea studying under a pygmy shaman. He learned that he and cartoonist like him ended the war. Like the pygmies that use drawings to gain success in a hunt the cartoonists' stories of Americans defeating the Nazis and the Japanese helped the allies win the war. Vic asks Alvin to draw one more page depicting Myra Fermin recovering from her coma. He takes the drawing to a building top where meditates on it. While he meditates the doctor gives the newly elected mayor an adrenaline shot that succeeds in waking her from her coma.
