In this short scene, the protagonist, a shy and awkward young man named Tomo, tells his friends and family that he's trying to become an artist. He's been trying to do so for three straight nights without sleep, but he doesn't feel well, so he goes to the doctor's office to get some sleep. The doctor tells him that he shouldn't worry about it, because he'll be fine. Tomo tells the doctor that he brought the mask of glass from his sister's room because he thought he'd be able to read it before he died. He says that he never thought that he would be surrounded with such good friends, and that his family was strict with him. One day, he was going to take his entrance exams to a prestigious college, and he was about to start reading the manga that his friends were reading. His parents objected to this, but Tomo decided to enter the college instead.
