The chapter opens with the protagonist looking through his telescope at the sky. He realizes that he can do what he wants, but he still has to wait and watch for the wings that will bring him where he wants to go. He tells Tamura that he is ashamed of how he feels when he does not know how to do his job. The protagonist tells him to shut up and not worry about his job until his class is finished. He then goes on to explain that he has no idea how to tune the fang from the battle with the giant beast. He explains that the sound of the agito is still non-functional. He also explains that he doesn't have the ability to read the rhythm of the biological system. The biological system is different from one person to the next, and the person who measures the rhythm must be able to do so without being influenced by others or by the environment in which he lives. He is frustrated that he cannot read the cover of the latest issue of the magazine because he can't figure out how to use the link tuners on the back of his shirt to tune his sound.
