The chapter opens with a soliloquy by Hiroshi, who asks the audience to imagine that he is living with a fierce gangster and that he has fallen in love with him. The narrator asks Hiroshi why he fell for such a bad-looking man, and he answers that he fell in love because he was afraid of falling in love. He tells the audience that he wants to show his new friend, nagisa, around the city on his next day off. He asks the girl to buy something for her g-bok friend, and the girl says that she bought something for a friend of hers, but that the friend was mistaken. He says that he was the one who was with him right now, and that the girl was referring to a member of the gang named "Taiga." The narrator tells the girl that the gang is involved in a "supreme internal division" and that they have come to the area where the girl and her friend went to today to fight. He feels that the area is their turf, and they came to it to protect it from the other gang members.
