In this chapter, we are introduced to a young woman named Anzu, who has just come from a company party at a hotel. She tells us that she has heard rumors that if she were to sneak into the bedroom of a man, she and the man would be happily married forever. Anzu tells her friend, Tamura, that she can't take off the creepy strap on her necklace because it's so creepy. Tamura tells her that Tamura has told her that he doesn't want her to force herself on him anymore, but Anzu says that she thinks he just hates her because she's a thorn in his side. She wants to know if they'll have another party in her room, but Tamura says that he's already invited her for a drink, so she won't have to worry about anything.
