It's almost time for the battle, and now that the battle is over, it's time to talk about the painting again. The narrator says that the painting is worth its weight in gold, and that now that he's broken his soul apart, the painting can find a new owner. He says that he can summon the painting out of his soul at any time. He also says that there's a lot of symbolism in the painting, and he can spend time understanding it later.
