In this chapter, we learn that Tamura has lost her job at the bank. She's worried about what will happen to her and her family, but she's also worried about her relationship with Tamura. She doesn't know what to say to Tamura, so she decides to go out with "a real woman" . Tamura tells us that she wants to tell Tamura about what's happened with hiro, but that she'll have to tell him later. She also tells Tamura that she tried to get the identity back from Tamura earlier, but Tamura turned it down. She apologizes to her, too, and says that she still wants to get to know Tamura and be friends with her. She thinks that she and Tamura have been very patient with each other, and that she could be happier right now than she is. She says that the things she thinks are "luxuries" are the "relationship ships" she has with others, and she has to give them back to her family.
