At some point, a blind Romani woman named Bogdana lived in a cottage in the forest downriver from Frankenstein Manor with her dog Ivan. In 1831, Ivan came upon Eric Frankenstein's body washed ashore. Bogdana felt his face and Ivan dragged Frankenstein back to their cottage. While she applied an ointment to his wounds, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and asked what it was. Ivan woke up and growled fiercely. Bogdana told him it was okay and he went back to sleep. She explained they were ointments that had ancient healing properties sacred to her family. He summarized it as "gypsy shit." She was amused. He let go and she continued. Frankenstein's mobility began to improve. He thought her lack of eye contact when she spoke to be disrepectful. She revealed she was blind. Frankenstein mused the world held nothing of worth besides beauty and if he were blind, he would kill himself. He stated the beauty of the Bride is what kept him going. She told him to close his eyes. He asked why. She asked if she earned his trust. He closed his eye. She asked if he did. He confirmed. She told him to imagine he was the Bride, told him that is beauty, and that was most of her everyday. She believed she saw more beauty than he could imagine.
Frankenstein made a full recovery. One day he returned with a turkey even she could smell. He ordered her to clean it. She called him bossy. He sat under a tree and admired his skill with the shotgun. He barely had to think it and it was done. Bogdana believed her father would be happy to see his shotgun put to use. Frankenstein added Ivan helped. She asked how. He revealed Ivan remained quiet. Frankenstein thanked her for nursing him back to health, and allowing him a place to recuperate. Bogdana told him to was his home and admitted she, and especially Ivan, have been the happiest they have ever been in his company even though he was a grouch. Frankenstein joked he still had the shotgun. She laughed and he smiled. One night, Frankenstein locked Ivan out of the cottage and packed. Bogdana pleaded with him to reconsider. He believed he stayed longer than he intended. She wept. He wanted to find the Bride because their sole purpose was to be together.
Bogdana pointed out she tried to kill him and she didn't love him. Frankenstein downplayed it as her being flirtatious and coy as part of a complex mating ritual that Bogdana didn't understand. She asked him why he couldn't face the truth the Bride didn't love him then asked why he locked Ivan out. Frankenstein was uncertain he would understand. Bogdana asked what he meant. Frankenstein blew out the candle overhead. Bogdana asked him not to leave and admitted she didn't want to be alone. Frankenstein looked at the tea kettle the picked up the iron pot and told her he would never let her be alone. He bashed her head in with the pot. In the morning, Frankenstein departed for good. He whistled and Ivan followed after him.
