Sometimes, they would throw rocks over the fence he erected around them, and some might make it through the nets over the top, so he would have to replace the panes. Robert kept a close eye on the sky, they came at night, so cloudy days made him want to rush. Sometimes after a particularly violent attack, the boards would come loose.

In the end, he confirms that he is the last man of his race, and at his death, he will be a legend, as vampires are now. Though he has lost his fear of the vampires, these are afraid of him and want him dead. Later, a group of living vampires captures him.

He conducts experiments, reads scientific books from the library, as well as mythological books on vampire lore. Robert seems to be the only person on Earth who is immune to the virus, so he tries to understand the disease as he kills vampires during the day, and barricades himself in his home at night. If they were Jewish the Torah stops them, etc. If they were Christians, crosses stop them. They seem to follow the typical vampire ethos. They begin to rise, with a thirst for blood.
