This chapter opens with a soliloquy by Hiroshi. Hiroshi tells us that he's been having a hard time adjusting to his new life with Selia. He's worried that she's going to leave him, and that he won't be able to get out of the house. He tells us how much he loves her and how happy he is to be with her. He says that he was afraid that if he grew up, things would get better, and he'd have to stop acting like a spoiled brat. So he tells Selia that he plans to stay in the house even after he graduates from college. He promises to make her happy.
