wanted to find out what happened on 18 January. Andrea was very angry. John could not stop
thinking about his doppelganger. Then, John pleaded Andrea to follow him to Felka utca on the
second 18 January. John hoped that they could meet his doppelganger again. Andrea was not
happy with the idea. But she agreed to help John for the last time.
After meeting the doppelganger, John became obsessed to find the truth
about his doppelganger. John was desperate to find out what happened on 18 January. He
lied to his boss. He told his boss that he had to take care of his baby because Andrea was not
well. His boss gave him some time off. He used the time to go to the Budapest City Library to
read old newspapers. He went to the library again on Saturday. He told Andrea that he had a
meeting at work. He lied to Andrea. However, Andrea found out that John lied to him. Andrea
called his office. John was not in his office. They fight with each other again. At the library,
John found out about Mrs Szabo. Mrs Szabo and her child died in an explosion. John wanted
Andrea to help him find out somebody from Mrs Szabos family. She refused. Later, John met
Mrs Fischer. He got a lot of information about Janos Szabo. Janos Szabo was Johns
doppelganger. He also went to the Public Records Office. John wanted to tell Andrea about the
information that he got from Mrs Fischer and the Public Records Office. However, he did not
tell Andrea. He knew that Andrea would not listen and understand John. She did not want to
listen to Johns doppelganger story. She did not believe John. Andrea wanted John to pay more
attention to his family. John and Andrea became distant with each other. John was left to
handle his problems alone.
In a nutshell, Johns doppelganger affected Johns life especially his relationship with
Andrea.
