Nighttime rain chapter seventy-five begins with Hiroshi talking about how he uses the lipstick to live. He tells us that the midwife who gave birth to izana saved her from the fate of being born ugly. It was said that if a girl was born with an ugly face, she would be killed. The midwife raised izana to protect her from this fate. Hiroshi says that the story of izana's early life is a "pretty unbelievable story" and that he too grew up in the same village as izana. The mother who raised the girl introduced him to her and told him about it. The moth who raised and izana was completely cut off from the society of the village. The power of the lip stick was used to steal izana from the village and burn it down. The incident was called "akeiwa incident" and was a sensation for a while, but it was never caught. The blood relatives of Hiroshi's family were killed even if they were not, he says. To him, izana "opened the way" for him and helped him escape from the "vile place" where he was born. He says that he will die as long as he is ugly, and he is going to die as soon as he's ugly. He watches a little mermaid perform in a green room.
