Genji has continued to fall farther and farther out of the court's favor and thinks about traveling to Suma to get away from his life in Kyoto. The only thing that holds him back is his relationship with Murasaki. He believes that he needs to get away but worries how Murasaki will fare without him as she has become very attached.
