Part II, Chapter 4, Tengo Summary

Tengo reflects on when he was ten, and Aomame held his hand. He knew she was tougher than what most people thought. He remembered enjoying the sensation of holding hands with her. He wants to see her again very badly. For some reason, she has stayed in his heart. He feels he is growing more mature, growing older, all because he is about to turn thirty, and because he has done something important with "Air Chrysalis".
