The next morning, Mangmang wakes up in the middle of the night. He's worried that Caix and Laertes are going to get caught in the waterfall. He tries to reassure himself, but he can't get it together. He feels like he's about to be caught, and he realizes that the two of them are waiting for him. He realizes that they've been caught, too, and that they need to get back to headquarters ASAP. Caix tells him to go back to his father and tell him what's going on, because he doesn't have a right to tell his son what to do.
