On Halloween night, May wore a homemade costume resembling Suzie, and went to Polly's house. He cut her throat. When Ambrosia arrives, May admires her feet, and stabs Ambrosia. Next, he killed Adam and his new boyfriend, Hoop. At home, she designed her "new friend", Amy (anagram of her own name), a body-sized patch doll made from Empty hands, Polly's neck, Adam's hand, Ambrosia's feet, and Hoop's ears. She uses Lupe's fur for her hair. The head and torso are fabric sewn together. May realizes that Amy has no eyes, and can not "see" her, so she gouges out her lazy eyes, fatal to herself.
