This chapter's epigraph is from a poem by Shmoop. It's about a man who loses his balance and falls twice in a row. The poem's title refers to the fact that the siege of a castle prevails when ten times the number of men are present. The idea of using a spear to lure sagawa into the castle seems like a good idea, but the narrator doesn't think it's the best idea. Instead, he suggests that they use someone to act as a bait to lure him in. He's not sure if the spear will hurt him, but he's sure it won't. The narrator is all, "screw that . . you should have come up with a better idea instead of just trying to get out of this." He hears voices in the distance, and he can't figure out what they're talking about. He wonders if they should have divided the army up into two, so that they would have more men to surround the castle, instead of ten to one.
