Summary
Louis and Prior are sitting on a bench after the funeral of Louis's grandmother. They are discussing the funeral and having usual banter when Prior suddenly shows Louis the lesions on his arm. He has a disease called kaposi's sarcoma Even though Louis gets extremely upset, Prior takes it in a very joking manner; he only fears that Louis will leave him because of his illness. Afterwards, Louis goes to bury his grandmother.
