Peter is a young man with whom Estelle has a romantic relationship. Although Peter is quite taken by her, Estelle doesn’t feel particularly strongly for him, since she has a husband and is also in love with Roger. All the same, Estelle is upset when she has a vision from hell of her close friend Olga dancing with Peter. Feeling forgotten by both her best friend and this former lover, Estelle yearns all the more for Garcin’s attention.
