In this chapter, we meet the parents of a young girl who is about to be born with "incomplete internal organs" . The parents beg their son-in-law to perform a "vagabondation" on their daughter so that she will be able to receive the "vast energy" of the underworld. The father argues that this is not a "bludgeon," but rather a "human-to-inwardly allied creature" , but the mother points out that the "grizwald family" has done everything in its power to protect the witches like the family. The mother says that the grizwalds are not "a common family" and that they know that the baby will either die or be killed by the family's evil plan.
