The next morning, the monster asks the humans if they're still in stasis, and they tell him that they aren't. They've been looking for the Yukawas, but they've lost them. The monster tells the humans that the monster turned them into monsters, and that he wants them out of his picture. He also tells them that humans can become heralds, and he's going to look at him to see if that's true. He says that he'll hire the humans again if they lend him a hand in the future. He's not sure if the monster wants to work with him or not, but he wants to see whether or not humans can be transformed into heralds. He tells the men that he can't figure out if the man is working with the monster or not , but that he will look at the man anyway. The men are shocked, and the monster says that they stuck their noses in some "really danger . . massive" . He wants to confirm two things: first, that there are still heralds in the world, and second, that the man's body will react to the situation. If the man doesn't confirm the first, he will break his neck. If he confirms the second, then the man will be saved. The only problem, he says, is that there's a "25 percent chance" that the experiment will work.
