The chapter opens with a conversation between a woman and her husband, who are having an affair. The woman tells her husband that she wants him to divorce her, but he refuses, saying that he wants her to give birth to a child while he is away at work. She tells him that she wanted him to go to Miwa after giving birth to the child so that she could tell him that they were divorced. He tells her that he does not know what the child pills are for, but only one of them thinks that they are divorced.
