This chapter begins with a description of the scene that took place on the night of the murder. The narrator asks the reader to imagine what it must have been like to witness the murder of a loved one. He tells the reader that he is a "good Samaritan" who is committed to helping the people. He explains that he has two pieces of paper from the papier-mache men that he can use to attack another man who is nearby. He also explains that there is a lot of yin energy in the air, which is why he sees the smell of the dead on the paper. The man's face reminds him of his dead father. He wonders who the dead man is. The smell of rotting flesh reminds the narrator of a rotting corpse.
