In this chapter, we learn that Mishima's daughter, Ari, suffers from "selective mutism" , which means that she can't speak to anyone for a month at a time. Mishima asks Mishima if he can tell her more about her daughter's condition, and Mishima says he'll try to help her. He also tells Mishima that he's learned a lot about the "conscience" of the team, which is why Mishima was asked to investigate her daughter. When he first heard about her, Mishima didn't understand why she was so interested in neri-oishi, but now he understands why she's interested in maya-amamiya. They're both "polar opposites," but they have the ability to bewitch people, and that's what makes them both so interesting.
