This chapter's epigraph comes from a conversation between the Governess and her sister. The Governess tells her sister not to waste her efforts, because she has no weaknesses. She tells the sister that she heard a rumor that sangbai had always liked him, and that he had a death wish. She also tells her that the guards at the company are arrogant and domineering, and they look down on them. They must be together, she tells the sisters, because none of them will be able to get out alive. They hear that the doctor was framed, and she thinks that he is a small doctor who can't rebel against a company like this. They also hear that he almost saved the doctor's life, and he must be with them, because they must all be together. The sisters are shocked to hear that they are being dragged away to kill them elsewhere. They don't believe that the previous order was to gather all the staff together, but now they are taking them away. They think that the two men are so shameless that they will be difficult to deal
