In this chapter, we learn that the snake's poison is not just a wound, but a life-or-death matter. It's also a matter of life and death, because even if the enemy is saved, he won't be able to get rid of the poison. The battle is still on, and the snake is still alive. He says that the enemy will be painful at first, but later, he'll be paralyzed and die peacefully. The snake says that he's going to kill the enemy to extract serotonin from his soul.
