Suddenly, two masked figures appear, revealing themselves as the other Emperor, who demonstrates his ability to shift his presence and manipulate memories; this encounter leads Yoli into reflection about past family trauma involving poisoning, their differing ways of protecting their mother, and the futility of seeking peace even at the top. The chapter concludes with a new character introduced in a modern school setting.
