In this chapter, Mina explains the situation to Harada. She says that if the old man and girl try to hide, they'll be "pressed to find them" . They'll also have to fend for themselves, since they can't just run away with the stone they ran off with. Mina says she's going to tell Sagawa to call her after all this "bullshit" is sorted out. She also says that her nose hurts like "a mother fucker" , and that she needs to get a doctor. She tells Harada that they're not going to be able to leave stasis if they don't have a master stone with them. They need to get the food they need from people in town. They can eat healthily, he says, and it won't go bad, either. He says he told Harada to kill the girl, and he's glad he did. He also says he could have killed her, but he didn't want to, because she could have kicked them out of the stasis. He's not sorry, and says he'll go wherever he wants and cool his head.
