He tells the audience that he was once a teenager himself, and that he has seen how difficult it is for a designer to get a client to agree to a particular design. The protagonist also tells the story of his friend, Mi-Ling, who was rejected by her boss at a fashion house because she did not conform to the company's strict dress code.

Mi-Lin then tells the protagonist that he can help him relive his youth by showing him the clothes he will wear to an outing the next day.
