The chapter opens with a flashback to the beginning of the novel, when Hiroshi and Selia are still in love with each other. The flashback shows Selia's reaction to her friend's declaration of love for Hiroshi, and Hiroshi's response to the news. Selia tells her friend that she has made up with Selia, and she is glad that she did not notice that she was making up with Hiroshi. She tells Selia that she must not fight over who will be her boyfriend, because both of them want to be hers, but she is so indecisive that she can't choose either of them. She asks Selia if she wants to be his "girl friend" or if she doesn't mind him being first, and he replies that he does not mind her being first. He tells her that he used to be serious about his girl friend, but that women are sharp, and they will always say that there was someone she preferred over her, and break her up with her.
