The narrator tells us that it's now clear that it was the imposter who tried to get into the nogi house. It's a shame, he says, because the imposter couldn't have possibly done such a thing. The narrator asks the grandfather if the family means to take over business for him. The grandfather says yes, and the narrator asks if he thinks he can trust the young men in the family. The grandson says that he's disowned him as his grandson, and he'll be leaving for the school the next day. He's so sorry, the narrator says, that he feels like a family again. He says that the imposter was arrested and asked if he was okay with it. The family wants the imposter to get out of the house, but the imposter is holding back tears, so they're going to have to throw him out.
