The narrator introduces himself as a "Mr. stranger" . He explains that he has the ability to "switch locations" with another person. He says that he discovered this ability some time ago, and that he still wants an answer from his employer. He asks if she dislikes him, and she replies that she does not. The narrator then asks if he still likes the piano, and he says that if anything feels "inappropriate," he will return in fifteen minutes. He tells the narrator to explore it, and the more he boundaries, the more happy he can be. He then tells the story of how he used to love playing the piano and how his mother refused to let him play because she still had "a dream." He tells her that she would have to "work herself to death" for him to pursue his dream. He also tells her about how his employer's school seems to be living the life he once dreamed of. He concludes that he can control himself now, and will not bother his employer where he is closest to him.
