When he wakes up, he realizes that he has just met the battalion commander. He's not sure why he's there, but he can't help but think that it must have been a dream. He realizes that his whole body was "filled with rage" before he lost consciousness. He remembers that he saw a "huge tiger" in his consciousness, and that's why he was so upset. He also remembers that his clothes were scattered on the floor. He knows that he is not worthy of the woman he loves, and he wants to kill her. He begs her to go ahead and kill him.
