'Are you keeping me awake?'
N. encounters the various meanings of the werewolf while searching for the origin of the nocturnal (were)wolf howl. But none of them keeps N. from sleeping. Only the suppressed feeling points N. in the right direction: over the fence. Only then does N. find out: What does the werewolf mean to me?
