This chapter's epigraph comes from a conversation between Caio and his sister. Caio tells his sister that he has just killed all of the monsters in the world, and now he wants to take revenge on them. He crackles his knife, which he calls "bai suo's knife" , and yells at the monsters to get out of the way. He tells Caio that he just sent his shadow to her, and she can see what he's done. He begs her to forget what he just said, but she doesn't, and he tells her that he'll look back at what she's just done at any time in the future. She tells him that Caio has already killed the monsters, so how can he get out? Caio asks if there's a young girl trapped in the cocoon, and Caio says that she is, because she was the one who locked her in there. He asks Caio if she'll let her out, but Caio won't let him, because Caio is the only one who can help her escape. He says that since he gave up his friends, it's been time for him to experience what being abandoned is like.
