In this chapter, Harumi tells her son that he is in love with his mom, and that he has been trying to make love to her ever since. Harumi is not fooled, and she tells him to stop flirting with her. She tells him that she has always known that he was only interested in her mother, and not in her. He tells her that he will never be able to love her again, because she is not a consoling woman. He asks her to let him go, but she says that she needs to talk to him right away.
