As soon as he hears the sound of the door locking, the ghost says that he will not let anyone bully him. He says that the world is cold and cruel, and that humans are better than the "lowest level in hell" . He explains that he has just been lying in the coffin outside his room when he hears a "text combination lock" being formed. The lock is written on each of the six rollers, with each roller representing a different aspect of the world. The world is a cruel place, he says, because human relations are "fragile like thin ice" , and words hurt people. He repeats the idioms he just said.
