In this short scene, we are introduced to the "subordinate" who is the object of our affections. He is, in fact, the man who we first met in the previous scene. The two of them reminisce about the time they used to live together, when they would "com pare" each other to the shin, or the lower part of the body. When they were younger, they would often go to the ho and kiss each other on the lips. Now that they're older, however, they can no longer do such things. They have to go to each other's homes to find each other, and they have to do it in secret. The narrator tells us that this is the first time he's seen the man he loves since he was a teenager. He's also the first person to see the man we're about to meet in this scene. We learn that the man in the earlier scene is the same man we see in the present scene. This time, the narrator tells the reader, he is the one who has been living with the man for the past 71 years. He tells the story of how he and the man first met, and how they fell in love with each other. He also tells us about the times they would go out to eat, and the time he would go to sleep with the woman he loved. He says that he would like to present the man with a present, but he doesn't want to give him a present that he already has. Instead, he wants to give the man a present of his own, which is a wrist watch that he can wear around his neck. He then tells the narrator that he'd like to eat what the woman makes everyday, and he says that it's been 71 years since they've been together. The
