The chapter opens with a soliloquy by the narrator, who tells the audience that he's not worried about what's going on in the town. He's just worried that something is going to happen to him. He says he doesn't want to be the center of attention, so he wants to go home and calm down. He asks his wife if she's the same as him, and she tells him that she is. She says that her husband gave the stone to a man named Yukawa, who died in 1880. The narrator tells his wife that Yukawa was the original inventor of the stone, and that he and her husband were together for 200 years, but eventually, Yukawa became too upright to continue his research. He made the stone and began to rub elbows with shady people, which is why people call him "the found." The narrator says he'll probably be around for a while, but he'd like to get back to the amusement park, where he used to go with his husband.
