In this chapter, Winnie tells the audience that the masked man told him that his father and brother were still alive, and that they would fall under the new government's control. Winnie wants to spare them the death penalty, because he has "selfish" feelings for them. He says that if the war lasts for ten years, he would not be able to see them until that day when they were publicly executed. The new government, he says, will keep a close eye on Winnie, because she is a "key person" and will be a source of information for the government.
