The next day, the two men prepare for battle. They're not sure how they're going to do it, but they know they'll have to fight. They don't want to kill each other, they say, because killing each other would make things even more difficult. They also know that they've got to keep fighting, because if they lose, it's going to be harder for them to get back. The two men talk about the fact that they haven't been able to defeat each other in the past year, and they wonder if they can do it this time around.
