Sitting in his study, the Governess muses to himself that he knows seduction is his job, but that he doesn't mind it if he messes around with men. He remembers a time when an angel of beauty was sent from heaven to level entire cities. The angel's beauty was so great that the hair on his head was "cast from heaven" and "became thicker" . The Governess says that happiness comes from within, and that from within he can relate to others. He says that he would like to use this country to further his career and give Lilith a better life than she actually has. He also says that the peace treaty between Japan and China has been signed, and if they could use it to further their career, then they would be able to give her a "better" life than the one she actually had. He feels like he's talking about sports when he says, "I feel like getting an ex-ercise ." He says he'd like to play a game of baseball, but he can't throw a dead ball. He wants to get back to his work. He wonders why he seems so "emotionally unstable" , and wonders if he has something to do with it.
