In this chapter, we learn that the second honoka has not yet disappeared, but that she is trying to erase everyone who knew her before she met claire. The first honoka only wanted to get rid of people she knew, but now she wants to erase people she doesn't know. She's even trying to make people who didn't have anything to do with her disappear, because they've absorbed the memories of the people she's erased. This makes her stronger, and the world will soon disappear. The narrator says that it will take a lot of kindness to defeat her, but he hopes that shuichi will stay alive, too, because he's stronger than she thinks. He also says that he wants to be a part of the fight against the world, because without her, he wouldn't be able to do anything. He's not crying, he says, but pees his pants. He says that if he and aiko were to fight, he'd be her little sister, and she'd give him a break. They don't even have to worry about the fact that his sister killed herself to get involved in the fight. They just need to defeat the world.
