At the beach they talk about a number of things, including the recent quake, Miyake's Kansai dialect, and why Miyake likes lighting bonfires on the beach. Junko also thinks about Jack London's "To Build a Fire" and her contrarian interpretation of how the man fundamentally longs for death. They also drink Suntory together; Keisuke leaves after a few drinks leaving Junko and Miyake alone. The two then talk about Miyake's family and a recent painting Miyake finished, "Landscape with Flatiron", and its cryptic meaning. As the bonfires dies, they talk about dreams and death; Miyake often finds that he horrifyingly dies trapped in a refrigerator and mentions that Jack London also thought he was going to drown to death so he killed himself with morphine instead. As they sit together thinking about death, Junko drifts to sleep.
