In this chapter, the young man explains that he is using his body as a means of communicating his feelings to the Phaedra and the others. He explains that the reason he has been using it is because he wants them to know how he feels about the love that he feels for Roxane. He says that Roxane has lived inside the shrine since the beginning of the game, and that she wants to return to her lover. Roxane's wish has been fulfilled, but she has not been able to fulfill her soul's desire. The young man says that he was right to capture Roxane first, because people's desires are frightening sometimes, and sometimes the young woman's strong emotions are mixed with regret. He adds that the game has become a ritual, and he will be freed from his imprisonment as a god.
