In this chapter, we learn that the Queen's mother is the first subject of Nyx's father's experiments. Nyx has killed her mother in the past, but she has become a phantom of the Queen in his memory. Now, Nyx wants to know the real reason for her mother's death. He begs his brother to stay and help him find her and the kitten. He tells his brother that he is a human and that he has co-operated with the humans who searched for his mother earlier in the day. He asks his brother not to leave Nyx alone with the girl, and he tells him that he will be waiting for him.
