This chapter's epigraph comes from the opening lines of Act IV, Scene 1 of the play. It's a quote from the play's opening lines, in which a young man asks his uncle, "What's up with all of this?" . The young man tells his uncle that "things changed a lot" in the last few days, and that he hopes the old man will help him find his brother. The old man tells him that he has two choices: he can either help him save his brother, or he can help him escape. He tells the young man that if he doesn't help him, he'll never be able to save his friend. He also tells the boy that he's going to kill him if he ever betrays the family. This is a big deal, and the boy realizes that his uncle is trying to save him.
