In this chapter, the monster tells us that he will soon be able to climb the Great Wall of China. But he's not sure how old he'll be when he reaches the wall. He's as old as a 20 year old, and he doesn't remember that he was a baby when he first entered the realm of death. He says that life is ahead of him, and that's why he feels so familiar with his creator. The monster says that he and the girl are afraid to talk, because they're afraid that they'll get into trouble if they don't talk back. He tells her that they can come to the wall anytime they like, and they can stay there together until they die.
