This chapter's epigraph is from the Book of Job. It's from Job's first soliloquy, in which he says that he can't be killed when he's in his "spiritual world" because the bridge to the "blazer temple" will be "vanished" if he kills himself. He also says that if he runs out of his power, he'll be able to refill his soul stone with anything he wants. He's not going to force anyone to kill him, he just wants them to do what's best for him. He doesn't want anyone to think that after he dies, he can just leave the world in peace. He says that even if he has the position, he will die in the hands of his creator. He tells Job that he has two choices: 1) return to the blazing temple, where he belongs, or 2) work for someone else's advantage. Either way, he says, his fate is in his own hands. He asks Job if he'd be willing to lend him a hand after the "crisis" of the temple is over. He promises to remove the "mark" and set him free if he agrees to do so.
