The story

A man named Stefan Brand returns home; he is due to duel against an opponent the next morning but plans to skip town and avoid it. His mute butler hands him a letter, addressed to him by a woman who claims that she may be dead by the time he receives it, which Stefan begins reading. Many years earlier, Lisa, a teenager living in an apartment building, becomes infatuated by Stefan, a new tenant and concert pianist at the time.
