The narrator tells us that before he entered the military, he was attacked three times by thieves. He's glad that he's okay, because he'd rather be sleeping outdoors than on a mission. The narrator says that he wants to reach out to people before they ask him for help. He doesn't want to help people who don't need his help, because they're not asking for it. He says that if a thief were clever, he wouldn't be able to get away with stealing his wallet. He also tells us about his father's mom, who is from the republic. She's pregnant, and her father tried to convince her not to have the baby, but she kept refusing. He finally convinced her that he was the father, and she gave birth to the baby.
