In this short scene, the narrator closes up shop for the night and tells Ganymede that he will always be a good friend to him. He even bought him a cake, gave him a gift, and celebrated his birthday with him. The narrator says that he hasn't seen Ganeymede since the semester started three months ago, and that he's never been apart from him so long. He says he misses him, but that he is a boy, and he has his own reasons for visiting the amusement park. He's sorry if he'd done anything that would give Ganemede the wrong impression, but if he has, he'll be sorry.
