In this chapter, the monster explains why he can't sympathize with the humans. From the smallest bug to the largest monster, the humans can comprehend everything. They even believe one day they'll be able to create gods. He compares the difference between humans and the monster to sweeping dust off his shoulder. He's jealous that he's never left the mountain village before. He tells the monster that he can dance for him. He says that his father told him that he was the best dancer of the village. He also says that he sustained two fatal injuries in a row, one to his heart and the other to his lungs. He doesn't know if it's worth it to fight so hard. The monster says he'll show the old man how a true lachter works.
