Seigi's father Shimeno Hisashi appears before him. Shimeno divorced Hiromi when Seigi was in grade school and has approached him now that he's grown. Though Seigi drives him off, Shimeno begins appearing everywhere Seigi goes. Not wanting to cause trouble for Richard or anyone else around him, Seigi tells Richard he wants to quit working at Etranger while hiding the reason from him...
Why must you treat me like some 
stone cast by the roadside?
لِمَ عليك أن تهمّشني كما تُهمّش 
صخرةٌ في جانب الطّريق؟
Warum behandelst du mich
wie einen Stein am Straßenrand?
¿Por qué me tratas como si fuera
una piedra en el camino?
¿Por qué me tratas como si fuera
una piedra en el camino?
Pourquoi tu me laisses
sur le bord de la route ?
Perché mi tratti come un sasso sul ciglio della strada?
Por que me trata como se fosse
uma pedra à beira do caminho?
Почему ты считаешь меня чужим?
