The narrator is on the phone with Tachibana when he hears the sound of someone's voice on the other end of the line. The narrator wants to know what's going on, but he can't find anything. He's glad to hear the voice of someone else, and he's even more glad that it's someone else who's on the line, because now he'll be able to talk to him in a way he hasn't been able to before. He tells the narrator to stop bringing him "crap" like that, and the narrator promises to do something about it.
