The narrator is in his office, outside his "perfect boss pervert" . He wishes he could have stayed where he was when he first watched him from afar. He realizes that he's going to get "tinged irritated" if he keeps making this "gloomy expression" about unrequited love. He says that even if it's not real, it'll be okay for now. He tells the narrator to "lean flinch" if she's tired of all of this. If she wants to be happy, he says, then she should try being on the "other side" of unrequited love, which would be "another version of happiness." He tells her that she can't lie to him about being happy if it weren't for the pain of being in love. At least, he tells her, he isn't lying about his love for her.
