As the scene opens, we are told that the scene is frozen in the middle of the night, and that the master is unable to move. He is distracted by the sound of lilith's growl, which he assumes is an attack on the master. The master tries to explain that he cannot move because the spell is consuming too much of his magic power, but the child does not understand. He asks the master if he can use the spell to attack the outside of the master's body, and the master replies that he can only do so if the spell lasts only a few seconds. The child asks if the master will be able to cast the spell again, as he is afraid that the spell will only last a short time.
