The footman tells the clay man that he has just received a recording medium from his army. The clay man asks if he can show him evidence, but the footman refuses to do so. He says that he received a manipu from the army, but that he could not have it because he was busy receiving manipu. He also says that the army has a most recent report to give their patron. He then says that if the cocoon is undone, he will be nothing, but a mindless puppet of his own. He compares his army to the ogre woman, who had gained complete memory when she returned to life. He tells him that he is free to die if he wants, but he would prefer not to be involved in the battle. He adds that he would rather die than be involved with the storm dragon, who is against him. He asks if the man with him was expecting more fighting, and the man replies that he was expecting them to fight. The man then asks if it was his decision to destroy the city of eurazania, and he says that it was the same thing as asking for control. He wonders if he was tormenting him for his own enjoyment. He is curious about the man's mind, and wonders if it twitched or twitched. He concludes that it is as they ex pected.
