The assistant comes across the Chavvot book containing the same story which occurs in her dreams, causing her to regain some memories and to realize that she is dead. When she asks Decim about the book, he tells her it belongs to Quin, the Quindecim's former arbiter. In a flashback to Decim's training, Nona questions him over why he did not use his remote device to affect the outcome while observing one of Quin's death games. He replied that he respects those who had lived full lives which intrigued Nona. Quin has since become part of the information bureau after quitting her job as arbiter. While drinking with Nona, Quin comments on how Decim is an unusual arbiter with human emotions. Meanwhile, Decim shows his assistant his treasure; a collection of dummies dressed like former guests who were sent to the void. He does this so they would not be completely disposed of and forgotten. Later, Nona arranges for two special guests to be sent to Decim.
