The narrator introduces us to the "per son" of one of the daidos, a young man named "Shinji." He's a cousin of the man who's going to be the next president of the United States, and he's also an alpha. The narrator tells us that "shinji" and "maki" studied together at a school together, and that "there was neither love nor attraction" between the two of them.

"You've fallen into huh?" , says "akari." "I love you" .
