On the fifty-eighth day of quarantine, Jeevan lies on the sofa half-asleep, staring at the ceiling. After two days of silence, Jeevan asks Frank to read him something, marking their first spoken exchange in days.

Frank, who also has not spoken in two days, asks what Jeevan wants to hear. Jeevan requests “the page” Frank is currently working on, and Frank reluctantly frames it as the words of an unnamed, “overprivileged philanthropist,” a client Jeevan would not know.

Frank reads an essay that examines how actors use celebrity for charity while admitting that most did not enter entertainment to “do good,” but to act and to be noticed. The narrator describes actors’ pre-fame struggle and argues that the initial desire “to be seen” evolves into a deeper need: to be remembered.

The essay turns to immortality through recorded images. Watching old films, the narrator feels that even minor, forgotten performers remain alive on-screen, and concludes that fame is less about visibility than about enduring in memory.
