This chapter opens with a conversation between Hiroshi and Uematsu. Hiroshi is worried that his wife is going to leave him, and he tells her not to worry, because he's already decided to stay in Japan. He's also worried about his sister, who's going to go back to Holland with her new boyfriend, but Hiroshi doesn't seem to care. He tells his wife that she's a good friend, and that he'll be happy to help her out if she needs it. Uh-oh. He also tells her that his new boyfriend has confessed to stalking her, and Hiroshi's not happy about it. He wants to know what's up with this, and his wife tells him that he shouldn't be hanging out with this guy, because it's too dangerous for him to stay. She also tells him to tell his father what he wants to hear, so he can decide what to do.
