The narrator introduces us to a young man named Budi, who lives in the most dangerous part of the city, a neighborhood called "lampor." Budi's sister, Wina, comes to meet him, and the two of them decide that they'll find a place for him to live. Budi apologizes for being late, and Wina tells him that he's a punk, and that he looks like a "goody two shoes" from his looks. He apologizes, slaps, and says that he forgot to do his laundry, so he'll have to do it later on. He tells Wina that his name is Mr. Ross, and he and his wife live in the same dorm as him and his sister. They're a bit "raunchy," but they still have a nice place to live, he says.
