The next morning, Hirokazu is getting ready to go to work. He tells his son that he has time to do some last-minute tidying up before he leaves for work. As he leaves, he asks his son if he was a fan of the theater. The boy says that he was, but that the show meant that someone else would need to be there for the final act. He asks his father if he can lend a hand in this, and he agrees to do so. He then tells his father that he hypnotized his daughter to stay asleep during the night so that she wouldn't get into trouble if he left her alone. He also tells him that she likes to wear real clothes, and that he should give her some of his own.
