The chapter opens with the father and son discussing the birth of their son. The father tells his son that he will not blame his son for his mother's death, but only for the custody of the child. He tells the father that the child cannot be separated from his mother, and that the only solution for the father is to marry his mother and become his wife. He then tells the son that they are still married and that they have not signed the divorce document. He also tells the child that his mother once told him that a couple could be separated for two years and then file a divorce lawsuit. The child tells his father that his feelings toward his mother were frozen after the death of his mother. He concludes that if the father does not want them to be separate, he will have to go back to his mother
