In this chapter, we learn that the young man's sister, Kisarazu, has just had her first sexual experience with another man. The young man tells his sister not to tell anyone about their encounter, and he also tells her to stop flirting with the old man. Kiarazu, however, does not want to hear about it, and she tells the man that she is sorry that they have gotten separated. She also tells him that he should not tell anyone that he is feeling sick, and that she will be back soon. The old man, who has come to see her and her sister, is shocked to hear that the two of them have begun to date, and asks the man if he would like to see them safely home. The man replies that he would rather see them there than with his head in the cloud
