This chapter begins with a description of death as a cruel, lonely, and arrogant "god" . For thousands of years, people feared death. People would die if they saw death. No human beings liked to meet death, but those who wished for relief were merely asking death for their own ends. Death can only depend upon those who wish to achieve their ends. The narrator tells us that death is a cruel and lonely thing, and that people have feared it since the beginning of time. He says that death has always been feared by people because they feared that they would die when they saw it. He adds that people would die even if they were to see death, because no human being could meet death. He tells us, however, that death can only be depended upon if people wished to get relief. He then tells us how he feels about his house. He coughs and coughs, and he cant believe that his house is vulnerable. He feels that he has gone too far, acting on his own will. He asks if he is so great with magic, so he can treat others the way he likes. If he can act on his doing whatever he likes, he says, then how can he not have problems with him? He asks where he is going. He wants to know if he can restore his house, since he can use his magic as he breaks free. He also asks where his doll is. He remembers when he was young, he used to sleep with a doll.
