This chapter opens with a conversation between a young woman and an older man. The young woman asks the older man if he has seen a lot of strange outfits at the show. The older man replies that he has, and the woman asks if he thinks the outfits are cool. The woman replies that she has not, and that she does not look at the outfits like monsters or robots, but like everyday clothes. She asks the man if she is feeling okay, and he says that she must be feeling okay because the show is full of people who want to see them. He tells her that he is a buyer at a private specialty store, which means that he knows all the people who will be coming to see the show, including the young woman. He says that he convinced 52 buyers to come to the show to see ayano, and this is the only way he can get her to buy his clothes.
