This chapter's epigraph is from the play "Adelinquent." It's a quote from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," in which a commoner challenges the king of England. The commoner asks the king if he would dare challenge the king. The king replies that he would never dare challenge anyone so lowly. He then asks the commoner who the man is, and the man says that he thinks the man looks like "varuna" , but that he's actually "colder" . This is the first time that the common man has seen a man so cold, and he thinks that's because the man stole the gold coins from the king's castle. He's shocked to find out that the man's name is "rena tus," which means "fated pair." The common man says he doesn't know why the man feels that way, but he does know that it's best to be honest with the king and explain what happened.
