As Lorna comes to think that this is a sort of joke, she and Cassandra are interrupted by a deliveryman (Nick Heffelfinger) who comes to the front door to deliver a new record. After signing for the package, Lorna asks the deliveryman if can get her phone, to which he agrees. As he returns the phone, something extremely fast suddenly slashes his arm off, then lacerates his throat with three large claw marks. Shocked and horrified by what she's just beheld, Lorna tries to fashion a weapon to fight back against the culprit, then opens a window in an attempt to escape. Cassandra quickly recommends not doing this, as the monster, a giant, hairy, rat-like creature with one arm (Carey Jones), tries to grab her, but she is able to stab it and drive it away.

Lorna's pizza soon arives, and she runs to the upstairs balcony to repeatedly try convincing Okwe (Franckie Francois), the kindly and optimistic deliveryman, to drive away, even bribing him by letting him have the pizza instead. Noticing that Lorna looks frightened, Okwe insists on letting Lorna have her pizza, placing it on the bloody porch for her. After thanking her for their conversation by mentioning it will help him feel safe and cheerful when he goes to sleep, Okwe prepares to drive off, only for the monster to butcher him next, his car drifting down the driveway.

Lorna and the monster calmly sit down for pizza and wine, where they engage in some meaningful conversation, starting with the latter's origins. The monster reveals that Cassandra's father had died from loneliness and her mother didn't return her calls because she died of heart disease, and the incident with the dead mouse just caused a lot of unnessecary extra grief, slowly ruining her life. Not wanting to go out like her father, Cassandra tried to make friends, but it just never worked out for her, and it was her depression and loneliness that created the monster, to put the "mice" she met out of their misery like she failed to do for the first. Cassandra also wanted to try and befriend Lorna because she saw her at an open mic night and thought she looked sad.

* CassandraTruth: Cassandra might've been ''named'' after the trope, as Lorna doesn't believe that there's some kind of monster out to get her. At least until it kills the deliveryman bringing her a record.
