2/3 of the way through volume 2! We get the second part of Crete Kano's story, in which Wataya somehow "defiled" her. Even by Murakami's standards, this is pretty obscure. It seems that, if anything, Wataya saved her from herself. It'll be interesting to see how the defilement idea plays out over the rest of the novel.
Also obscure is the mark on the narrator's face. It's clearly got a symbolic function, but I'm at a loss right now to know what it is.
