How It All Goes Down
- Chiyo mourns for a long time about her parents and her sad fate.
- But she feels her fate is about to change.
- One day she is asked by Auntie to return some hair ornaments to a girl at geisha school.
- She does, and on the way back, she bumps into a kind, older man known as the Chairman.
- The Chairman gives Chiyo some money for a treat and a handkerchief.
- Chiyo buys some shaved ice and throws the rest of the money into a shrine as an offering.
- But she keeps the handkerchief and sniffs it occasionally to remind herself of the kindly Chairman.
