In this chapter, Amemiya and her father discuss their son's behavior in high school. They discuss the fact that his father has come to visit them, and they wonder if this is the same boy that they saw in the picture. They also discuss the painting of the fireworks on the roof of their apartment building, which they believe is the work of the father himself. They decide to go and see the fireworks from a nearby heli-copter, hoping to catch a glimpse of their father.
