In this chapter, we are introduced to a new generation of characters, including Ganymede, who is the creator of the mechanical doll and the sound effect. He is also known as "the man in black" and "the alien" because he is a member of the Ku Klux Klan. He tells the audience that he has always wanted to know the whole story of his life, but he has not yet been able to tell it to his friend. He says that he will wait for him to tell the story to him, and then he will pry his mouth open to reveal the truth.
