In this chapter, we are introduced to a new member of the company, a man named Tomura. Tomura is the head of the sewing department at the company's main office in Kishida, Japan. He is a member of his own branch, and he and his assistant, Tomura, are the only two employees in the company who are not from Kishida. He asks Tomura if he can use his rock paper scissors to make some alterations to the fabric of a shirt he is making for his daughter, a young woman named Aphro, who is the daughter of Kishida's father, Akio, the founder of the Shimokita brand of paper cutters.
