In this short scene, the narrator delivers a soliloquy in which he laments the emptiness of the world. He bemoans the fact that no one knows the truth about the existence of God. He laments that the world is full of empty, lifeless bodies, and that nobody cares about the truth. The narrator is interrupted by the sound of a police officer's voice, who announces that a little girl has been reported missing. The girl's name is Kyoko, and her parents have recently died. The police officer asks the narrator to come for her, but the narrator refuses, saying that he will not come for a high school student who has been found lying on the sidewalk in the middle of the night. The boy is not seriously injured, and the narrator promises to look for him.
