The narrator tells us that he's going to take over the grocery store and make it his mission to protect the daughter of the man who folded the paper crane. He's got a month to live, and he'd like to be able to stay with his girlfriend all her life if there's a way to do it. He tells her that if she doesn't eat one month of ice cream, he'll do it for her. He gives her a package from the man, and tells her to trust him. The narrator explains that the man sent her a gift: a radio so she could stay by his side forever. She says that she's been keeping the gift to herself, but that he forgot to tell her that she was holding on to a greater pain because she had to forgive the man.
