"St. crackle crackle f 11" is the title of the chapter, and it's a reference to the year that has passed since the disappearance of Ruchika. The narrator tells us that he hasn't been able to find her, and that he's instructed the y'kai and the akashi to look for her in the country. He's also instructed them to notify him if they see any signs of her, but he doesn't know how to get the information to him in a timely fashion. He asks the narrator to tell him what's bothering him, and the narrator tells him to chill out. He also tells the narrator that the apartment is cursed, and he wonders if it was just a coin coin cidence. He then tells the story of the three suicides in the apartment.

She'll give the narrator a perfectly logical answer, and she'll tell him that there's never been any curses, no ghosts, nothing unusual has ever possessed the apartment, and no one has ever killed themselves there. He thinks that the third victim's boyfriend would have killed himself if he hadn't rented the apartment three months earlier, and then killed himself himself if it weren't for the fact that he had caused the death of his ex-girlfriend. He concludes that the only explanation for the third suicide is that he pushed his girlfriend to her death, and killed himself, then those who were left behind would be pain knowing what he'd done. He speculates that if the only
