Breve relato, de tono intimista, ambientado en un orfanato japonés. La autora describe en primera persona el sentimiento de amor-fascinación que la protagonista, Aya, hija de los dueños del orfanato, siente hacia uno de sus huéspedes, Jun. Todas las tardes ella acude a la piscina a contemplar sus entrenamientos de saltos de trampolín. Sólo al final del relato surge el encuentro y la conversación entre ambos personajes, profundamente solitarios y buscando su propia identidad con desesperación. ( )
