In this chapter, Higashide tells us that she's disappointed in herself because she doesn't look the way she used to. She's gay, so she can't imagine that her parents would be disappointed in her if she ever had the chance to have the same love for Nanase as she does. After that, she goes on a conference call with her parents and tells them about the financial problems they're having. Nanase's account is shut down and he disappears.
