The chapter opens with a conversation between Lieutenant Hayase and Lieutenant Suzumiya. Hayase is worried about what will happen to the rest of the world if the United States does not act quickly enough to destroy the tyrannous. He is also worried about the possibility of the use of G-bombs in the coming days. He tells the lieutenant that he has already told him enough about the situation to have his own weapons, but he is worried that they will not be able to use them soon enough. The lieutenant tells the captain that he is glad that he was able to make it out alive. He says that his brothers and sisters fought for humanity, and the reason he has accepted this is because he is the only one able to do it. When the captain asks him how he is feeling, Hayase says that he feels "envy" because he thinks he has found his purpose in life. The captain asks if he is sure he is okay, and Hayase replies that he got "super embar dude" when he was hit by the walker, and he says that a hug is not as scary as the things they did to each other. He also says that the controls of the walker are the same as those of a regular soldier. He asks the captain if he wants to know if it is okay to go to the place where they will get out of this world. He replies that it is for him to see what the place is like for him. He wants to see how it is like to live in the world without shame. The Captain says that it was a good thing that he took the girl back to his neighborhood, and that he will do the same for himself.
