In this chapter, Tachibana is studying with his body, and he complains that he has not taken care of himself properly. He asks the artist to whisper to him if he is sick, and the artist replies that he will be sure to come. The artist tells him that he is jealous of the late-shift row at the company because everyone knows about it, and that he could get fired if he were better at his job than anyone else. He tells him to wait for him to finish his work, as he needs to give honest feedback on his work first. He says that his art is great, but that it is inconsistency between the characters' thoughts and actions. He wants to know how he will react to this, and asks if there is anything else he can tell him. He thanks the artist for his time, and says that he wants to finish the next chapter as soon as he gets home.
