The Bunnies and Samantha turn into a “we,” and they embrace each other under the cherry blossom trees and tell each other, “I love you, Bunny.” They are the descendants of Virginia Woolf, and they shine with such brightness that they have to put on sunglasses. The Bunnies make fun of the poetry students, who think they’re dumb girls. During workshop, KareKare says they’re too pretty and need to be rougher.
The Bunnies continue producing boys/Drafts with missing parts. They name them Hotspur and Rimbaud VI and either kill them or drive them to the other side of town and ditch them. The Bunnies debate the ethics of abandoning the Drafts and note the fusion of life and art.
One specific Bunny, the Duchess/Eleanor, indirectly returns to the spotlight. KareKare criticizes her “proems,” and she gets sad that she’s not a talented neurologist like her sister. The Duchess shares her backstory: One day, she ventured into her mom’s room and dragged her diamond ring across her mirror and the windows in her house. She wrote brilliant messages and became a literary star.
The Bunnies brainstorm other types of Drafts: a Moorish prince, a Scary Other who acts like a feeble Englishperson, Marlon Brando, James Dean, or John Cusack.
