Fox was plunged into deepest gloom by these thoughts. He debated with himself whether he should strike or not. He was most reluctant to hurt Phoenix, and yet he was the more unwilling to lose his own life.
If Fox had not been a person who prized chivalric spirits and the righteousness of knight-errantry, he certainly would have brought down his weapon to strike; there can be no question about that. Though one should show generosity and valiance, one still should not give up one's own life so easily. This great indecision tore Fox's mind to pieces.

All this time, Orchid was waiting, standing in the snowy ground. A long, long time had elapsed, and yet there was no trace of her father and her true love. Thereupon, she gently undid the parcel Fox had entrusted to her. Inside she found only a few infant clothes, a pair of baby's slippers and a bundle wrapped in yellow cloth. The moonlit sky saw clearly embroidered in black on the pack the inscriptions "The Invincible Under the Sky". This was the very covering which her father had wrapped around Fox all those years ago.
Orchid stood under the moonlit sky, gazing at the tiny baby's clothes and slippers, overwhelmed by the warmth of her emotions.

Would Fox return safely to her side? Would he bring down the stroke or would he not?
