The chapter opens with a 26 year-old office worker lamenting that he does not have a boy to share his duties with. He is also worried that his supervisor, Miyoshi, will not be able to keep up with the demands of his job. Miyoshi arrives early to help him with his presentation, and Miyoshi shows him the office where they store their documents. The young office worker is pleased that Miyoshi did not fall on him, as he is sure that he would have been hurt if he had.
