This chapter's epigraph comes from a poem by the same author as the epigraph for this chapter. In this poem, we learn that the poem's title is "Protection" and that it was written by a man named "Santu" . In the poem, Santu tells us that he wants to protect "him always" because he's always thinking of leaving him. He's thinking about it whether it's in the past or the present. He wants to follow his heart. He doesn't want "to cause him trouble" , he says, because he isn't the same as him. In other words, he wants "to protect him always" so he won't cause him any trouble. He also says that he can help him become a "true dragon" so that he'll no longer be bullied by the people. He says that in his heart, he was ready to "leave" but he still wants to stay by his side. He admits that he tried to leave many times before, but he couldn't because he was too different from him. But he says that now, he can't leave. He asks xianzi if he can understand why he wants him to belong to him only and to him also. . He tells him that he needs to understand that they both belong to each other, and he also needs to know why he is being punished for being so hard to get at. He adds that he learned everything from him, and asks him to tell him more about what's on his mind in the future, so he can learn more from him too. He
