When the narrator returns home, he finds that his father has called to see him. He tells the narrator that he has received a call from the husband of Sarasawa, who wants to dismiss him. The narrator says that he is sorry to leave, but he has business in Hong Kong, so he will not be able to see his daughter until tomorrow. He asks the narrator if he has come to talk about the night before, and the narrator tells him that he did. He says that even though Sara was in a coma after the car accident, she was always the only friend he could talk to. He adds that he was worried about her, too, and that she had a new personality every day. When he asked her for help, she made him forget his glasses and all the foolish schemes he had been using to get her out of bed at night. He wonders why she was so nice to him, and wonders why he is not angry or sad. He wants to tell her that he loves her, that there is someone to take her away from her husband.
