In this chapter, we get a second glimpse of the house of Kukai. This time, it's not a happy house, but rather a sad one. It's the second time we've seen the house, and this time, the narrator tells us, "it's a second sob-soma appearance" . We're guessing this means that this is the last time you'll see the house. The narrator says that he's always been looking forward to this scene, but this one will be the "last" one. He tells us that this will be "the last" one, because he'll never get another chance to see Kukai again. He's worried about the fact that he hasn't had a girlfriend yet, but he also worries about how she's going to react to the news of his new crush. He wonders if this is a sign of a "new roman" , and he wonders if she'll respond to him in the same way that she responded to her first crush. Kukai tells him that he is a "true man," and that he has been texting her more than usual. He says he needs to "smile" to her to make sure she doesn't ask too many questions. He also tells her to whisper to him what he said to her, and then he tells him to take him to his office to tell the studio about it. He asks if he can take him for a ride, and the narrator says yes. He wants to know what's up with the fight between sanjo and sensei, so he tells the narrator to "check out volume 11" for more details. He goes on to say that if people were true to themselves, they'd feel better. He adds that if they didn't care so much about the fight, they wouldn't have broken up. He
