The Man's Love for the Child

In this chapter, a man takes care of a young child, whom he refers to as 'cat'. He tries to calm her down and make her fall asleep by rocking her and singing a lullaby. He is worried about fairies coming for the baby and reminisces about how the fairies had taken her brother and her mother. He feels guilty for what he did with barely and spirits, believing that he has attracted the attention of the fairies. Despite his worries and guilt, he deeply loves the child and finds solace in the peaceful moment of watching the dawn with her.
