The chapter opens with a conversation between the protagonist and his childhood friend, Yuto. The protagonist complains that he has been separated from Yuto since middle school because he had to move away from the same university. He also complains that his parents have allowed him to do what he likes as long as he doesn't skip class. He asks Yuto to copy his homework someday so that he won't have to worry about it. Yuto tells the protagonist that he likes him, but that he didn't like the story he wrote for his one-shot because it was about a girl and romance wasn't a good topic for him. He wants to know more about love, but Yuto refuses to tell him.
