In this chapter, we learn that Petruchio and Minas are in a fistfight, and that Minas is in a state of shock. She realizes that she is the only person in the world who has survived the events of the previous chapter. She also realizes that the events that have brought her to this point in her life are the ones that have caused her to fall in love with the man she has just met. She feels that he is the one who has saved her life, and she begs him to stop destroying her world. She asks him if he thinks that the destruction of the world was the first thing he did, and he replies that it was him, not the other way around. She then asks him who he thinks is responsible for destroying the world. He replies, "I was changed forever" . She says that she will continue to feel the same way about him, and they will both continue to destroy each other's worlds.
