He keeps his identity a secret but promises to reveal it when the light shines and his kiss will dissolve the silence that keeps them apart. The people of Peking also mourn that they will die as they don't know the identity of the protagonist. The protagonist wants the night to disappear, and the stars to fade away as he plans to win at dawn.
