Mr. Tomoaki and his son, Hiroyuki, are invited to a garden party at Tomoe's house. Hiroyuki's mother, Milady, is also there, along with her son, who is dressed as a girl. Milady tells her father that she wishes to get to know Tomoe better, and he says that it's "absurd" for her to marry a man like that. She also tells him that her son is "rebellious" in his attitude, and that he doesn't want to join his mother's household. She tells Hiroyuki that she's glad that he's invited him to the party, because it means that Hiroyuki will be able to spend more time with Milady. She says that she likes parties because they are fun and she can spend time with other people. She adds that she finds it "tortured" that she has to smile at people all the time, because "it's torture." Milady says that the party has been a success, because she brought her son along. He's very good looking, and Milady thinks that he looks like a boss. She asks him why he would dress as a woman, since it would suit him better. He says that if it were about inheritance, he wouldn't dress like that, since he'd be better off as a man. She apologizes, saying that she didn't know that the man was gay, and she apologizes for risking her son's future now that she knows it. She promises to give him the dress, but Milady warns her that she will get sick if she sleeps in a house like this
