In this chapter, Sora tells us that he once had a dream in which he was in the middle of a battle with an enemy army. He realizes that he is dreaming, and that the enemy is a "creature" that can only exist in dreams. He tells himself that he has no interest in the battle, because it only caused him to lose his "nothing more" . He then tells us about his obsession with "Fabre," an entomologist, and how he once studied ants in order to understand how they could fight against one another. The ants, he says, build a nest, enrich it, and whoever creates the larger army always wins. The battle begins, and the battle is to destroy the boundaries between dreams and realities.
