In this chapter, the young doctor explains that he has fallen in love with a man who he does not yet know exists. He is so excited that he is having sex with him that he cannot stop. He tells us that the last time he had sex was when he was still studying at university, and that he looked up to his medical advisor, Dr. Fujio, but when his wife died, he felt terrible that he could not do anything for him. He wants to be a doctor so that he can make amends for her death. The young doctor then tells us the truth: he has just gotten married again.
