The next morning, Hori tells us, he's been talking to the old man about what's going to happen in the next chapter. The old man warned him that if the boy moves, they'll fight in a wrong way. Hori says that if he had taken the girl out the day before, everything would be solved. But now, he says, if the girl squeals to the boss that she has a partner, then they're going to come after him as a team, and she's his enemy. He's shocked that they'd go so far to kill him. He wonders if he'll have to go back to Wales to find out how things are going.
