In this chapter, we learn that the main focus of the fight is to defeat the chip, and that the strongest man in the room is the one who has the final say in the outcome. We learn that this is the first time that someone has called him the "strongest" person in the game, and it's clear that he's the man to beat. He tells us that his company went bankrupt, and he needs to earn points in order to save his boyfriend. He says that the place is basically "slabs experimental lab" and that he can earn enough points to pay off the company's debts. He's fought many matches, and now he wants to beat him. He wants to know why he can't just give him the power to kill him, since he won't be able to do so for a long, long time. He asks if you think he really believed what he said, and then he says that he doesn't care if he has to lose his powers to gain freedom, even if he gets his freedom, he'll be useless.
