In this short scene, we are introduced to Ekichi, who is in love with his younger brother, and who is trying to find a way to express his love to him. Eikichi has brought him a cake, and he is very excited to eat it. He asks if there is another way to eat the cake, but the cake does not have cream in it, so he has to rub the cake with his hands to make it taste better. The cake tastes good, he says, but there is a slight jolt in his hand when he eats it.
