The next morning, the two men discuss the doll, which they have nicknamed "Electroshock Pinocchio" because of its strange appearance. The doll has been rumored to be responsible for the deaths of fish in Totomizu, and the men wonder if it is the same doll that disappeared after Zenta's death. They also wonder whether Zenta hated the town because of the doll's presence. The men decide to make an exorcism on the doll to rid it of all its evil powers, but they are afraid that it will cause more harm than good. They decide to treat the doll as if it were a god, a "celebrated god of wisdom," and not one of them.
