Asahina enters, dressed in her best kimono, and asks to be taken to the boiler room. Asotome asks her what she is so happy about, and she tells him that she is afraid of him because he is so skinny. She asks him if he caught a cold, and he tells her that he did not want her to catch it again, and that they both got soaked in the storm. He says that the feeling he gets from destroying someone's dreams is nothing compared to the feeling that he gets when he destroys someone else's. He asks if she let him go home with her, and asotome replies that she did, and it is his fault. He then asks if he is the one who has told everyone that they walked home together, and the girl says that she does not care, as it looks like it is the real thing
