In this chapter, we are introduced to a new character, Miss Amiya. She is a young woman who works in the office of a man named Madarame, who is fond of three girls in a kindergar class. The young woman, however, does not approve of the man's behavior. She tells him that she has a moment of her time to discuss something important with him, and she wants him to stop by her office and talk to her. She asks him to let her know that he is in love with another woman, and he says that he would like to see her, but he cannot because he is afraid that she will fall and hurt him. He tells her that she is free to express her feelings in any way she wants, but that she cannot do anything when someone falls. He then tells her to stop talking to him, but she refuses to listen, saying that she must wait for him to ask her out.
