In this chapter, we learn that the Boxcar is much bigger than we thought it would be. It's full of all sorts of things, and we're told that it's because of the box's contents that the boxcar is so big. We're also told that this is because of iori's personal life, and that's why he's so excited about getting to go on the trip. He tells us that when he first proposed to her, she gave up the ship she was on because she didn't want to be associated with a ship that wasn't hers. But now she's back on board the ship, and she and iori are going on a trip together.
