Tamakazura was assigned apartments on the east side of the palace. Higeguro continued to stay in the guard’s quarter. He wanted her to withdraw from the court immediately. When she was wondering how to reply to a poem from Prince Hotaru, the emperor came calling. He was unbelievably handsome and the very image of Genji. He reproved her for having gone against his wishes. She did not wish to seem coy. Higeguro was restless knowing that the emperor had called on Tamakazura.
