This chapter begins with the narrator lamenting that he often fantasizes about becoming a heroine in a novel. He imagines having a graceful figure and an otherworldly beauty. He wonders how such a world could be so ugly. He resolves to leave the place and find someone to take care of him. The narrator then goes on to explain that he is currently working on a new project and that he has invested a dollar on the experience. He feels that the narrator's new project is not good enough because the narrator has entered a world dominated by beasts. He also feels that his new project cannot be edited because the first chapter contains only eight hundred words. He is afraid that his reputation has been ruined.
