In this chapter, we learn that the Governess's daughter, sukeyo, has been sent to school by her aunt, kastane san. The Governess, who is now eighteen years old, thanks her aunt for coming to visit her. She tells her that her mother, who used to be her real name, abandoned her name and face when she was 18 years old. She also tells the story of the blank pages in her mother's room that contain promotional material for shows. The director of the show, who wants to cast her daughter in a beautiful role, asks her to give her daughter the role.
