In the future, the two women prepare for their duel. Elzbieta says that she's going to kill the mermaid, but she doesn't know if it's a good idea or not. She's also worried that the mermaid is going to attack her, but that she won't be able to defend herself. She also worries that the sword will be too heavy for her, and that the other woman will use it as a weapon against her. The two women decide that they're going to have to kill each other first, and then they'll have to figure out a way to stop the mermaid from attacking them.
