He is not rigidly bound to the schedule in the brochure. He believes that as long as there are hearts that can be touched and emotions that can be felt, people should see as much of the lower society as possible everywhere. This fish, who dreams of swimming but is always intercepted and persecuted by sharks, has sympathy with a wandering female painter Hannah, who also advocates freedom and is despised.
