In this chapter, we learn that the corps are only fighting at about 60 percent of their power. This means that they've lost a lot of their blood, which is why they can't see where they're going. They're also worried that the land of birds has sprung up because of their noise, which means that the birds are all flying there. They thank the guy for guiding them to this land, and he thanks them for guiding him to this place. He says that he would never be able to fly to these heights without the help of the guy. The guy says that it's his duty as a human being to pursue a "non-aggressive policy" . The snow has stopped, and the guy says he can keep going. He's so happy that he doesn't have to worry about responding to the girl's "perversion" by killing her. The dude says that every living thing is his slave, and that's why he's been able to keep going all this time. He wonders where his power has gone, and how he could have lost so much blood. He also wonders why the guy's body is hanging upside down.
