When the wolf comes back from hell, he moans about the things that have happened to him and his family. He says that his daughter is like a god to him, and that he can feel her "in your bones" . He asks the wolf if he's a thief, and the wolf says that he is. The wolf asks him what his name is, and he says that when he was a kid, he had ten thousand days to live, and most of them were dry. He tells the wolf that he would rather play the black jack game than drink to tomorrow, because that's where he'd be able to get aces and tens, which is what he needs to survive. He also says that the wolf's friends, lovers, and allies have come to tell him that his friend zephyr isn't dead, but that she's back. He's totally in love with a man he hasn't even met. He wants to know what the heck is going on, but he can't figure out what's going on.
