The scene opens with the sound of a creak, followed by a twitch. It's clear that Masaki and Izumi have been having an affair. Masaki tries to calm him down, telling him that he's not his ideal man, and that he shouldn't be jealous of Izumi because he doesn't paint like he does. He tells Masaki to stop using him to make Izumi jealous, because even if Izumi painted like he did, Masaki's pain would still be there, because he'd still have to paint with his left hand, which is terrible. Izumi is in the middle of a traffic jam, and Masaki loses his vision in the road. He asks Masaki if he should dump Izumi in love with him, and he says yes. He's also worried that Izumi's hand is injured in the accident, so he tells her not to call him.
