This chapter opens with a flashback to a time before the events of the previous chapter. It is now 2025, and the protagonist is still in high school. The flashback shows that the protagonist has made a decision to change his future, but he does not know how to express this decision in a way that will not be interpreted as an act of rebellion against the future. The protagonist realizes that the monthly ordinance has been used up, and that he will need to use it again in the near future. He wonders how the protagonist can be so forgetful, and wonders if the protagonist's peers will care if they are killed. He also wonders if they were the same people who robbed the tomb in the first place. He realizes that he still wants to go home, and he wonders why they are doing this without giving him any notice.
