In this short scene, Soekidin explains that the wound in his body is eating away at his divine power, and that the only way to stop the spread of the wound is to leave it alone. He explains that he has tried everything in his power to cure the wound, but that he cannot stop it from spreading. He wonders why the creature could have killed them, and wonders why he even invented the power of darkness. He says that they have no other choice but to leave the wound alone. The wound will disappear, he says, and the real body will not be able to survive without divine power. This is the best way to deal with nidhogg, he explains, because the chance of survival is higher than getting eaten from the inside out by the wound. He asks if they can bring the kid to see him, but he refuses, saying that he will not let them die.
