In this chapter, we learn that the young man has been missing for two days, and that the police have been looking for him. The young man tells his brother that he is in a dream and that he hopes he can forgive him one day. He tells him that each time he sees a name on his arm, it means that someone is close by. He says that he will kill himself if he is not allowed to do so on his own. He asks if he can use his own strength to stop the attack. He wonders how he is supposed to be his vessel if he cannot even survive
