He reveals that he murdered a young woman named Dot after she threatened to expose their relationship for financial gain. Asa describes in gruesome detail how he disposed of her body in a vat of acid, believing he had committed the perfect crime. However, the horror escalates as he begins to witness something supernaturally unsettling: Dot's body appears to be regenerating from the remains he thought had been completely dissolved. As Asa records this transformation, he becomes increasingly consumed by fear and guilt, ultimately leading to a tragic conclusion when he decides to end his life to escape the terror he has unleashed.
