In this chapter, we learn that humans have been around for thousands of years, and that they have developed different philosophies than the gods who created them. In fact, many humans believe in the gods, but curse them when trouble comes to them. If the blades attack the place, does that mean that the gods are close by? We learn that three hundred years before the dice were invented, the array of mirrors in the universe suddenly shut off from outside, sealing off the outside world from the inside. If you have a dice, you can enter the world, but if you have no dice, there is no way to enter. The field of vision in the world is wide, but there are no signs of the bridge and forest on the map. The only thing that matters to the gods is whether or not the humans live or die, and they don't care whether the humans are alive or dead. It's better to live in the mirror all of his life than to block blades for others, even though he is about to die. He's so curious about the world outside that he wants to see it for himself. He asks the gods if he has eaten rabbit before, and the gods tell him that he can't eat meat, taste of flesh, or taste of blood. He wants to know what he's been fed, so he begs the gods to let him go. The gods say that they'll repay him if he really has a heartbeat, which he does. He wonders why the wind suddenly seems to be so strong, and he wonders if it's because the mirrors are broken.
