This chapter opens with a description of the organ meat that the narrator has prepared for his sister. The narrator tells us that his sister went to a South American ruin and picked up a spirit. The spirit affected her appearance and her physical appearance for half a year. Her people tried everything they could to cure her, but she became "wildly feral" . After the ordeal, the narrator was able to "shut away his heart" for ten days, which freed him from his "impuri but emotionally" and made him feel "nothing and thought nothing." The narrator then tells us about his father, who died this afternoon. He was a kind man, and the narrator wonders if his father had a will.
