Bruno Lancien, Michèle's young neighbour, comes to see her and informs her that he's just assaulted his uncle. He's adamant that it was in order to steal from him but Michèle is unconvinced. Bruno ends up by admitting that he wanted to take revenge on the uncle who had raped him when he was twelve. Still traumatised and ashamed, he refuses to let her use it for his defence.
