He squints through the half-light. Otane the herbalist? She has the same black hood and mountain clothes. She could be. She has the same bent back. Yes. Uzaemon raises a cautious hand, but the figure turns away, with a slow, sad shake of her grey head. 'No', he mustn't acknowledge her? Or 'No', the rescue is doomed? The interpreter puts on a pair of straw sandals left on the veranda and crosses the ruckled vegetable patch to the bamboo. A path of black mud and white frost winds through the grove.... Back at the inn, the rooster crows in the forecourt. Shuzai and the others, he thinks, will be wondering where I am. Straw shoes offer little protection for a clerical samurai's soft feet. Sitting on a snapped cane at eye-level is a waxwing: its mouth opens . . . . . . its throat vibrates, spatters out a tuneless tune, and it flies away . . . In short arcs it hops, from perch to perch, through the thick grove. Uzaemon follows through slanted bars of light dark and dark dark . . . . . . through the pressing confinement; thin panes of ice shatter underfoot.
