In the third and final match of the day, Page defeats Blackmore in straight sets. He is confident that he will win the next day's match against del Sol in the "open finals" . He wonders where he is, and wonders if it is okay for them to be at the tournament. He notices that the man who hits the toma-hawk is wearing combat clothes, and he wonders if that is because he was once a soldier in the navy. He also wonders if the man is manic, and if he is wearing the combat clothes because he is eating or getting eaten. He thinks that if the match goes on as it is, he will lose. He sees the score board and thinks that it is because of Geric's back ground, and that he has a detailed plan for winning the match.
