In this chapter, we learn that the two of them are going to be living together in the same school as each other for the rest of their school years. The narrator sighs as he thinks about the conversation he had with Anri at school. Anri said that she wanted her friend, soushi, to think of her as special, and she wanted him to think that she was special as well. She also said that he should ask her how she feels about him, and that she should ask him how he feels about her. This is the first time that she has asked him directly about his feelings for her, and the narrator wonders if he would see her as a friend and not as a person of his own. He also wonders if she would feel the same way if he just saw her as an old acquaintance. He tells her that they are not bullying her or anything, but that they just want her to tell them all about her past
