It's been almost a month since they last saw each other, and now that he's back at work, Akiyama is bummed that he hasn't had much time to spend with his wife. He's also bummed that his boss, Kasada, has been away for so long. He asks if he can have sex with one of the "zombie mobs" that work in his department, and the guy says he'll have to do so since he'd rather be having sex with a "zombie" than with a boss who's "crazed" and "horrible" . He also says that he wants to "make him mine" , which is a reference to the smell of the guy's cologne. He says that if he doesn't get his wife back in three days, he can just "shut him up here" and throw away the pill. Awkward. The narrator says that this chapter is all about a "night of dreams" and the end of a "romantic love story," and that it's a really sweet and complex love story.
