The chapter 6 manuscript arrives, and the narrator asks to see it. He's a little worried about it, though, because he's sure that it's not going to go over well with the protagonist, who's just about to meet up with his new crush. The narrator asks the narrator to take a look at it, but the narrator says he hasn't yet given it to the protagonist. He asks if the protagonist would be too happy with the chapter, since the protagonist's going to be meeting up with a new guy. The protagonist says he'd be happy if he were, but he doesn't want to ask the protagonist to look at the chapter because he already has other things to do. He tells the narrator that he ran into the protagonist on his way back from the book store, and they talked about how happy he was to be invited to the book signing. He also says that he thinks the protagonist is comfortable speaking openly about his feelings about the book, and that it would make him happy, though it would be hard for him to be happy about the fact that he was being invited to a book signing event. He says that's true, and then he shows the narrator a copy of the manuscript that the protagonist has yet to give him. It's the manuscript of Chapter 6, which the protagonist will be using as a reference for his own writing. He gives the manuscript to the narrator and asks him to take care of it.
