Summer, after Yozo's marriage

Horiki's Return and the Antonym Game

Horiki reappears, and Yozo, unable to refuse him, resumes drinking. One hot summer night, Horiki visits, and Yozo pawns Yoshiko's clothes to lend him money. They drink gin on the roof and play a game of tragic and comic nouns, and then a game of antonyms. The game turns dark when Horiki defines the antonym of crime as 'the law,' revealing his contempt for Yozo as a criminal.
