The nun had lost her child a long time ago. So she thought of Ukifune as her own girl. She made a pilgrimage to Hatsuse to show her gratitude. During her absence, just as the moon came flooding over the hills, the captain appeared. The girl fled aghast to the rear of the house. The younger nun Shosho urged Ukifune to greet him, saying "You are not sympathetic. At least hear what he has to say." Knowing that the nun was away, he grumbled persistently over her stubbornness. She recited a poem, but at the end fled to the old nun’s room.
