In this chapter, we meet a young woman named Lily, who is in love with a man named Caius. We learn that Caius is a co-worker of Lily's, and that he and Lily have been secretly dating for a month. Lily tells Caius that she's the only child in her family, and her parents adore her. Caius tells Lily that his family is very good, and Lily says that she should stop eating Caius's expensive cakes. Lily says she'll visit her parents again, and Caius says that he'll walk her out of the house. Lily asks Caius why he lied to her parents, and he says he lied on purpose. He says he saw Lily talking and laughing happily with Caius when they were together. Lily doesn't understand why she is so happy whenever she gets close to Caius, but she says that as long as Caius isn't her boyfriend, Lily will be fine.
