In this chapter, the narrator laments that his wife finds pleasure in sexless affairs. He tells Milady that he does not have a girlfriend, but that there is someone he likes. Milady asks him if he can go out with her, but the narrator refuses to answer the question, saying that he has the same job as everyone else. He asks Milady what she thinks about when she is in love, and Milady replies that she does not care about her partner's job. She says that she loves a married woman, and if she threw everything away and came to her, she would protect her with her strength, but if her existence caused her to suffer, Milady would disappear from her existence forever
