The Governess asks the foolish knight if his death is imminent. He replies that it is, and that he must go to fight on the battlefield. She asks him if he did the right thing by fighting so many men, and he replies that he did not. She tells him that the Governess is asleep, and she asks him why he is doing what he is. He tells her that he has already been tested by officials and that his mother reports his behavior to them. He says that he hasn't felt human for a long time, and if he were to become some sort of creature, he would do it. He adds that he bought a mirror so that he could see what was going on in his head. He asks her why she is crying, but she says that she is waiting for him. He apologizes, but he says that there are times when he thinks that he is enjoying being around her.
