With a slight cough, Martha attends a group therapy seminar where one learns to fly. The seminar leader asks the participants to reveal their abysses while they cut their hands with a knife, because the deeper they are, the higher they fly. Martha opens up about her latent depression, but no one is really interested. Under pressure from the group, Martha lies and tells them that she will soon die because of her cough.
