The narrator tells the audience that he knew someone who was exactly like the protagonist. He tells the story of how the protagonist's family tried its best to help him, but he was unable to do so because he was a burden to his family. The narrator says that he was once like this, too, but that he wanted to prove himself, so he was different from the protagonist in that he did not want to be a burden. He asks the protagonist why he thinks he is a burden, and the protagonist replies that he can't understand why the family would think of him that way. He says that if he were the protagonist, he would be devastated, because she probably thinks that all her efforts are meaningless, or worse, she might think that she failed as her sister. The protagonist thanks the narrator for listening to his thoughts, and he says that it's been a long time since he met him. He feels relieved that he is "just a normal person." The narrator asks if the protagonist is really the sister of renata.
