Two weeks has passed after Inessa's death, Dimitri's mental condition worsen. He's been lacerating his own flesh with blade.
Inessa slit her own throat infront of him after he arrived home during his birthday. The way she slit herself was like beheading its own. Blood was all over her and the floor. He stood in horror and it was too late for him to save his own mother.
Inessa fell down, bleeding on the floor with her neck half hanging (one thin line of nerve was holding it together ) and open. You can see the nerves and insides.
Inessa was actually diagnosed with Schizophrenia a year before but she never told anyone. Her own son doesn't care to her and the only thing she can do is cry silently. This is another reason why she cries day and night in her bedroom.
Dimitri started to have eating disorder and finds his own body bleeding due to psychological problem of lacerating himself. He couldn't even feel pain anymore. Just stucked in his bedroom and never leave. He started to hallucinate, laugh alone, and doesn't shower anymore.
As Dimitri was sitting on the floor of his bedroom, staring at it's hands , a group of authorities barged in. Forced open.
Polina the landlady was with them. She found him on the floor, shaking, freezing. So, she rushed to him.
The authorities are from a mental institute . They came to pick up Dimitri.
It was Polina who who called them. She observe everyhting and everyone in her apartment. She believes that Dimitri needs help. This is the best for him even though Dimitri rejects the idea.
Dimitri stood up silently and surrendered himself. Entrusting the authorities.
He was becoming suicidal,
And so.....
He was brought to the asylum.
