In this chapter, we are introduced to a new character, the albino, who is a member of the Brotherhood. He is described as being thirty-six years old, with a goatee. He has a dream in which he imagines that he is the supreme priest, and that he has been shot in the mid-flight by lightning. He wishes that he could die, but he is afraid that he will not be able to find a way to do so in the future. He decides that he must go back to the virtual world, where he can use his real-world fingers to navigate.
