The chapter opens with a creak. It's the body's way of telling the reader that it's getting tired. The moaning is interrupted by the sound of someone pushing a pant down. It sounds like someone's trying to squeeze the pant down, but the moaning doesn't stop there. It goes on to say that the pant is sucking, and the moaning is getting a little twitchy. The moans are interrupted by someone else's moans. It turns out that the moaner's name is "Motomachi" , and he's in the middle of an interview with a publishing company. He's been rejected by all of the other publishers who want to hire him. He also tells us that he met the owner of the publishing company in front of his old apartment, and that the owner didn't recognize him, but he did come to see him.
