In this chapter, the reader is introduced to Violet, a young woman who has been living as her sister's "relic" for nine years. Violet tells the reader that she has always been a "weak person" and that she is afraid of death, loneliness, and loss. She ran away from home when she was a child, and she has been afraid of being killed ever since. She says that for the last nine years, she has lived as Violet's relic, hoping that the relic will not become extinct. Violet says that she doesn't know when she first started to like a girl, but that it did make her feel happy. She wonders why people are always the victim, and wonders how they manage to live well in this world.
