The narrator apologizes for being a "predator in a skirt" . He's been busy with his job since he returned from studying abroad. He wants to chat with the girl who lives next door. The girl is a student at a low-ranking school. She looks like a "childish" person, and she's wearing plain clothes and thin makeup. The narrator is shocked to learn that the girl knows about her. She's from the same class as the girl, and they used to live together in the same house. They used to hang out all the time, and the girl started to think she was special because she got along so well with the prince. But she still tried to polish her appearance so that she wouldn't get laughed at for hanging out with him. The prince gave her the "reason" to change her appearance, she says, so she could be more "spycial" to him.
