It's been a long time since we've seen the monster, and now he's back. He's wearing a special outfit that's supposed to help him feel better. We're not sure if it's the same outfit he wore in the beginning of the novel, or if it was just a fancy new outfit for him, but we're guessing it is. We also learn that the monster's dad isn't in the house, and that he can travel back in time through the "dragon pulse" . The monster is psyched to find out what's going on. He wants to know what the heck he did to everyone to get them to tell him about the monster. He also wants to see the monster die, and he wants to send his head to the monster in a gift-bag. He doesn't want to be the one to do it, but he also wants the monster to know that he didn't do it. He thinks the monster is ordering him to kill the monster so that he won't have to face the consequences of his actions. He wonders if the monster has been ordered to do this by someone, and the monster says that he'd never do such a thing, but that he thinks someone is trying to get him to do something. He asks the monster if he can recount what happened 500 years ago.
