This chapter's epigraph is from a poem by a young man named An. The poem is about a man who has lost his love and is about to lose his life. The young man tells An that he has no strength left and that they cannot hold on to their love until the end. He tells An to eat less and to gain more weight. An tells him to be careful with his food. He feels that this time the game is trying to kill them. An explains that the game does not require them to pass a certain level, but only to "infinitely wander" . This is the only way they can know that they are on the right track. They must keep going, he tells An. They will surely lose if they do not keep going. An asks if they are tired of living, and An replies that they have bought a cabinet to help them move. He asks An to come to his house to help him move this weekend
