In this chapter, we are introduced to a new character named "Florp." Florp is a black fox who has lost one of his own heart and is now recovering from his wounds. He tells the reader that he has not consumed any human life force since he became a "black fox." He says that he can recover on his own, but that the situation has changed since he lost his first heart. He explains that the only thing that can help him now is "candy." He asks the reader not to think that he does not know that he is wrong, that he himself is responsible for what has happened. He asks if the reader still thinks that they do not have a relationship, that they are torturing one another, and that the doctor has the power to heal them. The reader is shocked to learn that this is not the case, and he asks if he is still scared after what he has been through. The doctor healed him after they came back.
