Louisa, painting at the church wall, hears footsteps behind her and hurls a spray can, which strikes Ted’s glasses and eye. Ted, neatly dressed and composed despite the pain, asks if she is Louisa. Suspicious, Louisa demands to know if he is police; Ted retorts that if he were, she would already be arrested for assault. He dryly accepts her literal “apology accepted” and remarks that he can see why “he” liked her, pointing to the skulls C. Jat painted.

Ted hands Louisa the postcard she had given C. Jat, along with the spray can he borrowed, on the condition she not throw it again. He explains that C. Jat enjoyed painting with her and had planned to meet her again but could not because he died. Louisa confirms she heard the news, and both struggle with their grief, avoiding eye contact.

Ted indicates he has something for her and gestures to a suitcase and two boxes: a small one and a larger one. Louisa immediately recognizes the small box as likely containing ashes, recalling her best friend Fish’s cremation and briefly sharing that memory. Ted is taken aback that she guessed correctly.

When Ted offers the large box, Louisa takes it clumsily and nearly drops it, prompting Ted’s panicked rescue. He explains that C. Jat sold everything he owned to buy back his own painting so he could give it away, insisting that artists should die poor; he wanted Louisa to have it. Louisa, confused, asks if Ted is C. Jat’s lawyer; Ted says he was just his friend.

Louisa apologizes to Ted not for the accident but for his loss, noting that while the world lost an artist, Ted lost “his human,” and that he deserves to grieve in peace. The words hit Ted hard; he manages only a curt thanks, collects the small box of ashes and his suitcase, and starts to leave, saying he has completed his mission.

Louisa calls after him that she has never met a grown-up like C. Jat, and Ted admits he hasn’t either. As Ted nears the end of the alley, Louisa opens the large box and cries out, having found the painting that C. Jat intended for her.
