The chapter opens with a flashback to the events of the previous chapter. In this chapter, the protagonist explains that he fled to another ruin and left a message to the other survivors warning them to destroy the "barzesa" machine. He was killed by a "red-blooded man" who came after him, and he was separated from his family for the rest of his life. He tells us that he has two lives: his first was in a "narrow, sweltering sewer" , and his second was in an "emilious green courtyard" . He says that the man who killed him was always a fool, always thinking about others and worrying about others. He would secretly carry on his shoulders everything he needed, without asking for a return or thanks. The protagonist says that he and the man were born under a curse of death, but because of the "ripples of fate" caused by the curse, they can meet again on this land. He adds that he can no longer go looking for the man because he is already dead, but that he still has a chance to meet the man again.
