The chapter opens with a soliloquy by Hayashi in which he declares that he is going to live and die in the world. He says that he will prove that the descendants of Hayashi are no longer a threat to the peace of the world because they have been harnessed by the noks for centuries. He then asks Tonari to make him a hair tie. Tonari says that she has made him a tie because he has Hayashi's blood in his veins. She tells him that she wants to see him. He tells her that he has come to see her because she is a girl who has been taken over like him. She is ten years old and lives with her stepbrother and her parents. She has not been noticed by her family because she has asked her own self to take over her body. When Tonari asks him what he is planning to do with the girl, he tells her to eliminate the impostor. She then tells him to get away from her sister.
