The chapter opens with a flashback to the time when the protagonist was a child. He is now an adult. He has been reborn many times, and each time he tries to kill himself, he is defeated. He tells the protagonist that he was born during the era of "the right path," and that the light of that path will never be extinguished. He hopes that the protagonist can kill him in his next reincarnation. The protagonist tells him that he has recovered a lot from his wounds, and that he wants to go for a walk. He asks the protagonist if he should open a medical practice, and the protagonist says that he does not need to, as he has a good night's sleep.
