At the end of this chapter, the narrator tells us that he is in the middle of a conversation with the Prime Minister of Japan. The Prime Minister is giving a speech about the importance of moving away from the use of nuclear power. He says that the country needs to move away from this source of energy. He tells the narrator that he has just learned that a woman is pregnant and that the baby is coming soon. He asks the narrator what it means to be a young person who is locked away without work. The prime minister says that it means that you are a shut-in. The narrator says that he brought a co-ppelon to the police station and that they cannot take the man back to the country. He also tells the prime minister that he knows nothing about yellow cake and that it must have come from overseas because the label says it came from a low-level waste dump.
