In this chapter, we learn that Hiroshi has locked himself in his daughter's room because she won't let him in. Hiroshi tries to convince himself that he's not locking himself in because he wants to talk to his daughter, but he can't bring himself to do so. Instead, he tells her that he wants her to know that if she wants to hit him, she should go ahead and do it. He also tells her about how when he was a kid, the other kids teased him because of his thick eyebrows, and the teacher yelled at everyone. Everyone blamed him, and things got awkward because of him. Now, he says, he is having a baby, and they're going to school together. He wants to watch his son grow up, but Hiroshi tells him not to worry, because he'll just watch how he grows up. He tells Hiroshi that he was trying to convince Hiroshi to let the girl use his school as a setting in a movie, and Hiroshi apologizes for his rude behavior the day before.
