In this chapter, we learn that the white tiger cub has returned to the city of Berlin, where he has been captured by the authorities. The white tiger tells the cub that he will send him to the "18th floor of Hell," where he will be punished for breaking the law of the underworld. The cub asks why it is that the flames have not been able to bring him back. He says that perhaps he needs more power to "revitalize a semi-god" . He promises to give the cub all of his powers, and the cub coughs and coughs until he is dead. The White Tiger says that he still cannot save the cub, but he promises to heal the wounds he has inflicted on him. He asks the cub to help him bring back the White Tiger, but the cub refuses, saying that his heart is torn apart by the pain of his wife's death. He also says that if he were to die, it would be okay because he would be able to "save" her.
