The old man asks the detective to fix up the sports hall, which has been leaking for a long time. Some people have left the area, and new blood has replaced them. The detective agrees to help the old man, and they climb out of the window. The two of them talk for a while, and then the detective says that he doesn't understand what happened, and that he's here to find out if Coyle is still alive. He says that the birds have come back to them, and he thanks the knights for their help. He tells the queen that he knows they shared a "single consciousness" and that they stood at the same fountain together. He also tells her that she's nowhere near pure and naive as she pretends to be. He asks if the fountain is still there, and she tells him that it is. She says that she hopes that people will burn their homes to the ground to purify them from evil.
