In this chapter, the narrator tells us that he's always longed for the opportunity to look into the eyes of his baby. He's hoping that the baby will stay in his mother's belly, so that he won't make her tired. He wants the baby to stop absorbing all of his thoughts, and he wants him to stop sucking all of the baby's blood. The narrator coughs, and the gate to the house is blocked. The baby is bleeding badly, and no one can save him. The doctor will treat the baby, but no one will save him otherwise. He hates giving favors to anyone, because humans only live 100 years. He tells the narrator that black foxes have three hearts, and that he once felt inferior to his partner because he was born with only one heart. Now, he feels lucky that he has a partner like him, because they're connected by his heart. He asks the doctor to pay him back with his whole life.
