In this chapter, we learn that the two young lovers are going to die together. They're not going to let go of each other, and they're going to fight each other. The two of them are fighting each other because one of them is "too heavy" , and the other is "fat" . It's not fair, says the young man, to make them fight. He's a "warlock," not a "hercules," and he doesn't want to let anyone go. He wants to kill both of them, but he can't because he's "not letting go" of anyone.
