When the rain finally stops, the young man decides to go to the Volscian camp to wait out the storm. He's worried that if the storm doesn't stop, he won't be able to go on the next day's expedition. He asks if the expedition is really about defeating the monsters, and the man assures him that it's not. The young man tells him that he's the only survivor from Shiganshina's household, and that he has seen a giant before. He also tells the man that this expedition isn't just about killing the monsters. It's about getting revenge on his family, his father, and his mother.
