In this chapter, we learn that kotoko-iwanaga was right about one thing: it was not a nagatsuka, but tachi okamachi who killed her. . The young lady wonders why the detective is so sure that tchi okamachi is responsible for the murder. She wonders why he would write a note confessing to the crime when he could have blamed it on another person. She also wonders why ki omachi didn't just kill himself. He wrote a note saying he was sorry for what he had done to her. The girl wonders if this is a sign of the heavens, telling him he deserves to be saved. She asks why he did it, and he says it was because he wanted to reclaim the glory that he had lost. He feels so sorry for the girl, but he also knows that it would have been a dumb murder if it had happened the way it did. He wonders if the girl is suggesting that he has been trying to get her to marry him.
