In this final scene, the young man tells the men that he will not eat them. He tells them that the aura his sword is feeling reminds him of an old friend and that he captured him by force. He asks why they are doing such a good deed, and they tell him that he is a hypocrite. The young man says that he does not know if it is because of the sword, but he does know that it is transmitting a feeling that "ghost muskderer is trustworthy" to him. He says that the first time he laid eyes on the man, he felt very close to him, and that when he received the present, he would start his mission in the "eight black divergent" . He also says that if he is killed, he will avenge El Niif's death. He then asks if he has ever encountered an eight-year-old white youth. The southern machines could not go any further, he says, and so they called him a "black-eyed rock" before. He adds that the woman in the village will say that his aura felt very familiar, and he promises to capture him.
