This chapter's epigraph comes from a conversation between Toni and the wolf, in which Toni tells the wolf that he is the reincarnation of Toni's dead wife. When Toni asks the wolf why he beat him up, the wolf replies that he was careless in his approach to Toni. He tells Toni that the only thing that matters to him is his love for Toni, and that he will always love her for his entire life
