The narrator tells us that he was born as a "man of the sea" , which is a Japanese term for a person who lives on the ocean. He was born in a small fishing town in the middle of nowhere, and he has always thought that he would live in the big city and look out at the sea. One day, however, when he is sleeping with a stranger, he realizes that he is inconsolable, and blames himself for the whole thing. He tells the stranger to give him a ride, and the stranger tells him that he likes him, but he doesn't want to hurt his feelings. The narrator says that he's attracted to the stranger because he treats his "dick better" than any other man. He also tells the man that he used to like minato, and that he even made him some for sex. He says that, for the longest time, he slept when he was alone. He wants to know what Minato prayed for after he went to the pond.
