The monster asks the boy if he's feeling bad, and the boy tells him that he has been quiet for the past few hours. He wants to be near him, and he wants to know why he hasn't been scared of the monster. The monster tells the boy that if he touches him, he'll become a monster, and that he should tell him why he did what he did. The boy tells the monster that he doesn't think they can find ana, because she said that if something weird happened to her, she'd never come back. He says that he can't blame himself for the death of his mother, because he was the one who caused it. The narrator tells the boys that they're not monsters, and they shouldn't be overthinking their situation. They're still human, he says, and there's no reason for them to believe that they can go back to Hell.
