The story
Wally reflects that as he has aged he has had to focus more on making money than art.
The last in this string of events was when Andre and a small group of friends arranged Halloween-themed experiences for each other at an estate in Montauk, New York, including the participants being briefly buried alive.
While Andre says he needed to do all of these things to get out of the rut he was in and learn how to be human, Wally argues that living as Andre has done for the past several years is not possible for most people.
