In a moment, the narrator loses the love of her life, and the only thing left for him is to run away with her. She tells him that she has no choice but to do so, because she feels that there is only time left for her. He tells her that he has already told him that he would like to run with her, but she tells him not to worry, because he is too good-looking to be a ward. The narrator tells the boy that he is not good enough for ward, and that he should run with someone else. The boy tells the narrator that he does not want to run, but the narrator tells him to lie, because if he had known the reason for coming to Japan, the boy would have laughed at her and said that it was stupid. The two of them run off together, and when the narrator returns, he finds that the boy has gone back to school to study.
