This chapter's epigraph comes from a speech by a magistrate, who tells the audience that the soul is coming out of the world and that the curse of a "viable magistrate" depends on a connection between the soul and the body. Hair and fingernails are often used to put curses on the body by the blood devil, but they are not the only people who know about this secret "blood devil" manual. The magistrate says that he is a laughingstock because he does not know how to use the secret manual.
