The narrator tells the protagonist that he can listen to the conversation between the protagonist and Toda from outside the bunny shed, which is right next to the shed. He realizes that the protagonist is listening in on Toda and seno's conversation. He thinks that the two are like an old, retired couple, and that they've lost their way in the world. When the protagonist asks if he can ask about the previous day, Toda says that she was special to him that day and that she's happy to be with him.
