It's been a while since the narrator has had sex, but he's still in love with his "beast partner" . He wants to know why he can't just go to the top floor of the building and ask for help. The narrator explains that there are "therian-thropys" who treat humans as if they're lower than them and treat them with a "discrimina-tory" attitude. He also explains that the "scandals" that occur when a "strong sexual urge" toward a human female is present are called "the scandals." The narrator says that he'd like a kiss from his "boy friend" , but that he doesn't want to be the center of attention in a scandal. He's afraid that if he does kiss him, he'll look like a "kid" and that he won't be able to grow up with him. Next, the narrator says, there's a rumor that an actress is going to have a "press conference" at a cottage where she's supposedly going to be having sex with "a male theranthropy." He says that's why he wants to go there.
