Even though he doesn't remember the events of the previous chapter, the narrator still remembers everything that happened. He's glad that he got back on his feet quickly, because he's worried that he won't be able to live with anyone else. He also remembers that he and Tomoya used to be friends back in school, and that they can still date if they want. They used to have sex more or less, but after that, things got awkward, so they let things die. The narrator wonders where he can live now, since he can't seem to make friends with anyone. He tells the narrator that he used to feel invincible, but now he feels like he is too close to his future wife, who is getting married, and his future son-in-law, iino. He wonders why he hasn't been able to sleep well, and wonders if hongyo isn't the type to be a "womanizer" anymore. He says that he'll do anything in his power to make up for what happened that night.
