This chapter's epigraph comes from a quote from the novel's first chapter, "The Return of the Jedi." In this chapter, the protagonist tells the audience that if he ever has to fight a group of enemies, he should be very careful not to lose his soul and mind. He says, "If you ever have to fight them and die, be careful never to lose your soul or mind." This is a reference to the fact that the protagonist's body parts are too far apart from each other to be reattached. The protagonist says that he will make a new body, but that his heart, memory, and mind are all too far away to be re-attached. He suggests that if the protagonist ever dies, he will die in peace. He tells the protagonist to search for the "swamp man" and find out how he was able to defeat the enemy. He asks the protagonist how he even managed to do it, and the protagonist replies that he was "a little tough around here" . He goes on to tell the protagonist that the police are on their way, and that they need to hurry up and kill keiichi and nishomi. He adds that they are going to find the explosion, where the protagonist will be able to see the enemy's movements. He explains that they will use the "gospel" to keep the enemy from attacking them. They will also use the police and the security radios to communicate with each other.
