This chapter's epigraph is from a poem called "Alone," written by a young woman named Arya. In the poem, she laments the fact that she cannot remember who she is anymore. She tells herself that she will never be able to forget who she was, and that she has no memory of her former self. When she realizes that her memory is lost, she curses herself and curses her former lover, saying that he wasted his kiss on her. She curses him and tells him to go home. When he refuses to leave, she tells him that he can come back with her if he wants to. He tells her that if she thinks he is lying to her later, she can come with him. He says that he told her to not go against her destiny and that he will get her back.
