The chapter opens with a conversation between a boy and his best friend. The boy tells his friend that he has fallen in love with the boy, but that the boy has been working all day to make his costume ready for the upcoming festival. He also tells the boy that the white prince has not been to the festival, and the boy wonders if the prince will be there on the festival day. He asks the boy if he wants some help sewing, and he tells him that he will look for a new love during the festival. When the boy asks if he and his friend have had a fight, the boy replies that they have. He then asks if the fight was violent, and when the boy says that it was, he asks if it was just him, or whether it was the other way around. When he hears that the prince is not at the festival that day, he says that he is going to look for love in the festival
