In this chapter, Desdemona's voice is heard again. It's the voice of his daughter, who has just returned from a trip to the seashore. She's upset because she heard the earthquake that shook the room. She wonders if the game has been changed to a four-player battle. The third person in the room is dead. He's not the only one who's been killed in this game. The only person who survived the last game was a guy who was afraid to fight. In other words, if you lose the first match, you're going to die in the next match. In this case, it's a double-edged sword: you either die in battle or you die at the hands of the other person. The other person can't be killed because he's already escaped the detection system.
