After the Asahina ball, Kanade is in the Asahina orchard, saying as she sees Mafuyu in her balcony, saying, "Ay me…" Hearing that from her love, Kanade says, "She speaks. O speak again, bright angel, for thou art. As glorious to this night, being o’er my head, as is a wingèd messenger of heaven unto the white-upturnèd wond’ring eyes of mortals that fall back to gaze on him when he bestrides the lazy puffing clouds and sails upon the bosom of the air."

After that, Kanade heard Mafuyu speak in her balcony, "O Kanade, Kanade, wherefore art thou Kanade? Deny thy father and refuse thy name. Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I’ll no longer be an Asahina." Kanade steps aside. "Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?" She says. Mafuyu continues speaking, "’Tis but thy name that is my enemy. Thou art thyself, though not a Yoisaki. What’s Yoisaki? It is nor hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face. O, be some other name belonging to a woman. What’s in a name? That which we call a rose byany other word would smell as sweet. So Kanade would, were she not Kanade called, retain that dear perfection which he owes without that title. Kanade, doff thy name, and for thy name, which is no part of thee, take all myself."
