In this chapter, the narrator tells us that he's still afraid to look at his brother, Shu-Bin, ever since he exposed his true identity to him. He feels like a wolf has bitten down on his throat, and he wonders if he made a mistake, or if Shu-Bi is holding something against him. The narrator is bored with the art gallery, and decides to go back to the sky-water art gallery next time. He's surprised to see that the woman next to him is her sister, Wen-Ying, and that she's standing next to her brother. He doesn't realize that they're actually brother and sister. He wonders if the rumors are true, and wonders whether he should dump his younger brother.
