The next morning, the monster wakes up. He tells his companion that the monster is bigger than before, and that they can't do anything to stop it. They'll just die if they don't get out and explore the green space. The monster asks if they can actually walk through the space, and the companion says that even a mouse could kill them. The two of them eat some kumquat, which is a kind of dried fruit, and decide to go back to the kitchen to get some more supplies.
