With Madeleine, the narrator's girlfriend, away, something warm is pressing against the narrator's arm, and the stranger in the bed turns out to be the narrator. The self keeps dividing: one copy goes off to a job at a publisher, another heads to court for Madeleine in her case against a novelist who harassed her. Torn between the two sides, the narrator cannot tell whether this is love or only the idea of it, or where their loyalty lies.
