After Loomis recovers from his sickness, he becomes quite insane and begins attacking Ann, causing her to flee to the surrounding woods. He becomes aggressive, insensitive, hostile, and erratic in his behavior towards Ann. After he tries to rape Ann, he makes multiple attempts to capture her after she has run away. As the book comes to a close, Ann abandons Mr. Loomis in the valley, taking his safe suit and going out to the dead lands beyond the valley. Ann respects Mr. Loomis's technical abilities but she knows how dangerous he has become.
