The chapter opens with a description of a ten-month-and-ten-day period in which a baby is born. According to the old-fashioned way of counting, it would take 262 days to develop in a woman's womb, but in the modern way it would be ten months and 10 days. This means that hank jven's contract with Yuri has progressed to a point where he can no longer be inside her belly. Yuri can't have a baby with aono kun, because aono is inside her own stomach. The chapter ends with a soliloquy in which the narrator muses on the fact that destiny wants to "march in" and pretend that it is the boss now. He wonders if destiny has something in common with the ghost aono and the ghost of sama, but that's only half right. The only thing that has settled from birth is Yuri's blood, and he wonders if he and aono are falling in love. He doesn't know if he's dying or if he has fallen in love with her. He's glad he loves her.
