In this chapter, we learn that the light bug is the female form of the twin tianze, and that he is the one who is responsible for the death of his sister. We learn that he has also been responsible for saving the lives of many other people, including the ruler, who was willing to betray him in order to help the bug. The light bug, however, is not responsible for his sister's death. He is responsible, he says, for the deaths of many others, including his own sister. He asks if he can bring her back to life, and she agrees.
