In this chapter, we are introduced to the protagonist's father, who is the last of his family's remaining members. He has not seen his son since he was a child, and he has not heard from him for some time. He is working for a country in the Middle East, and the protagonist wonders if his father is still alive or dead. The protagonist uses his last resort, the "magic weapon" that his father left behind, to make fun of his father's absence.
