The next day, the group goes to the sewer line where the Hosta has been imprisoned for 105 days. The Hosta demands that the soldiers drop their weapons and surrender to her. He also demands that they rescind the lives of the hostages they have taken. The lieutenant, however, refuses to listen to him, saying that he has nothing to do with the deaths of the children. He says that the empire should be responsible for the lives that are taken by those who kill hostages. This is the same argument he made when he escaped.
