In this chapter, the piano keys are returned to the protagonist, who asks for them to be returned. He has a dream in which someone asks him to return his piano keys. He wants to tell the man everything about the keys, but the man will laugh at him when he does so. The protagonist wonders if dreams can contain forgotten memories. He wonders if human dreams contain "forgotten memories," and if they can reappear in dreams. He says that if he were to meet a handsome man, he would like him, but he would be slightly scared because he was "agrim reaper." The protagonist then swallows a pearl, which he says he can cough up on his own. He asks the girl to go away, but she refuses, and he tells her that he will protect her. He tells her to watch out for herself, and says that she should build a pagoda instead of a seven-story building. He then gives her a picture of himself, and asks her to take the picture and sue the man if she wishes to. He will return to the school where he was once a student.
