Now that he's recovered from his ordeal with the snake, the young man is terrified of snakes. He's afraid of snakes because they're the same kind of snake that the female ghost used to trick him into seeing the things he fears the most. He decides to try the "mind clearing charm" taught by Master Wine-Sword. He wants to protect his soul from evil. He also wants to know why the girl's image is being used to fool him. He doesn't want to believe that the girl was possessed by evil spirits, and he wants to go to the "avici hell" and repent himself. The young man explains that his clothes were made with "yin energy" , which means they were created with the same energy as his sister's clothes. He explains that he was only using a small amount of his energy to make his own clothes, but when his energy came in contact with his sister, it drained a lot of it. He asks if he sometimes sees things that people around him can't see. He used to have nightmares about ghosts, but he eventually discovered that they didn't harm him, and they even helped him. Now, he says, he'll be twenty years old on his birthday.
