The chapter opens with a soliloquy by the narrator, who tells the audience that he admires Qu'an's courage. He tells her that she lost her parents when she was a little girl, but she came to where she was all by herself. She was a tough, persistent person, and at first he thought they would be good partners. But now, he tells her, they haven't spoken for a long time, and he'll sit down and talk to her. He says that men are jerks, and that he doesn't believe there are good men in the world anymore. He wonders who can win her heart when facing difficulties, and says that he thinks he knows the man very well. The narrator says that she's found the man she loves. She tells him that she thought she would never love anyone again, but after she met him, she realized that she hasn't lost her ability to love. He asks her why she didn't just listen to him when he told her not to drink, and she says that others have said that she won't be able to find true love. She says she never thought she'd fall for someone like him, and others say that someone like her will never find love. But after he found out that she was in love with the man, she realizes that she still has the ability to fall for anyone. She asks him why he didn1t come to pick her up, and the narrator says he thought of a dastardly plan. When he learned that she wasn1t in love, he wanted to kill her, but now that she1s dead, she can rest in peace. She sends him a message, which he thinks is a message from her lover, saying that he1s already dead. He also says that in the next chapter, something will happen, and Qu'lan will be in trouble.
