Josias furiously enters his room, annoyed by Jeremiah's provocations. Is it really serious that the comrade will be eternally wretched because of that discussion? After taking a deep breath and reflecting for a while, Josias decides not to take Jeremiah's mockery seriously, for the matter does not extend.
“Life goes on and we argue about something that has already been resolved.”
