The chapter opens with a conversation between the two women, who are discussing their feelings for each other. The first woman expresses her love for the other woman, and the second woman tells the first woman that she will always be her sister. The second woman tries to explain her feelings, but the woman does not understand her. The woman tells her that she has turned back into her old gentle self, and that she is the worse person for having criticized the girl when she was scalded. She tells the woman that the girl will not be angry with her because she is an optimist, and she does not expect that she would already know the girl so well. The two women then discuss the quarrel between their brother and sister-in-law, and they discuss the possibility of the two of them staying together.
