In this chapter, we learn that Hiroshi has already received his share of the company's profits, and that Asahi, the president of the bank, plans to reward him for his past performance. Hiroshi tells us that he's not happy about getting the promotion, but that he plans to split the money with Asahi so that she can continue working on the deal with the i-will city bank. The bank is a small one, so it's important that they get the contract. If they don't, the contract will go to the big city bank, and Hiroshi hopes that he can secure the contract with his own way. If he can't do that, he says, he'll just cut himself off from the world. He wants to be "one of you" or "lesser" . He doesn't care what other people think of him, so long as he can do whatever he wants with the money. He's just trying to "like" only one person, or "get himself" as one of the other people. He just wants to "eat you right now" and "squeeze you enough" , and "even your lips that I lick every day, shiver I want to eat 'em all and make 'em mine . . shiver . i want to be eaten but I'll die"
