In this chapter, the three of them discuss the possibility of Ymir's return to the world of the gods. Ymir has given birth to an undying body, but she has also escaped to a free world. The three are still trying to understand each other, but they are afraid of what will happen to them if they do not return to their former selves. They run to a tree on a hill, and for some reason, a thought comes to them. The reason they were born was so that they could run the race on this day, and when they gave a squirrel a nut, it ate it. This is the only time they have ever been able to run a race, and this is why they are alive. They are grateful to the gods for saving them, and they wish they had seen the gods pose after all of the killing done. Without the gods' help, they would not have survived.
