The battle has broken out again at the old machida. The battle is still raging, and it's not clear how many of them are still there. The only thing that's clear is that the Americans are nearby, so they're going to have to defend the capital. Meanwhile, the second tenant, yashiro, thanks the first for everything he's done for her. He says that she's been acting cold to him because she wants to be safe from the fighting. She doesn't mean what she says, and she was just trying to be nice to him. She didn't want to hurt him, he says, but she still stuck her nose where it wasn't supposed to be.
