The narrator tells us that he's been having the same dream over and over again. This time, it's about the old man. The narrator can't believe that the old guy wants to judge him. He's so happy to see the entire family. He tells them that they're brave men, and that he hopes they don't have to do anything to prove their loyalty to the king. He also tells the narrator that the king sent four "titans" to the island to remove the threat, but they've all disappeared since then. They've been gone for four years. They haven't seen each other for five years. This is the first time that the narrator has ever heard the story of the war, and he hopes that it will be the last time he hears it. He says that if the king kills all the eldians, the world will be in danger.
