The narrator asks the audience to imagine what it must be like to be in love with someone. He tells us that it's like a bond between two souls, stronger than marriage, and that once you form one, it can't be taken away until death. The narrator then tells the audience that they're about to have a red bean dinner, and he's wondering what's going on with Mina and Masaichi. Mina is blushing, and the narrator tells her that she's not pregnant yet.
