The next morning, Bixuan asks to be excused from his duties at the cottage for a while. He is worried about his wound, which is bleeding from his mouth, and he wants to make sure that it is bandaged before he can leave. He asks Bixen if he is important enough to her that she will spend her life with him, and she replies that she is. She tells him that he was nervous when he looked at her, but he ended up loving her anyway. He had no regrets about it, and his life is at an end game. He tells Bixen that his destiny is to be evil, and that his hands are "step step doomed" to be stained by blood
