The narrator tells us that the city of Tosone is home to Takeshi Tatsumi, who has been injured in an exhibition match and has to miss the rest of the season as an agent. He wants to see the condition of the injured player himself, but he is afraid that the local fans will lose faith in him if they find out that he is not there to play. He goes to the local shop to ask for help, but there is no one there to help him. He tells the shop owner that he wants to take a picture of his injured leg, but the owner will not allow him to take one. The shop owner says that he will take care of the injury for him, and the narrator agrees.
