The chapter opens with the narrator asking for the answer to his question: "What's wrong with you? You seem down. I was sure that, if you asked an answer, kitami would not be able to refuse you down." The narrator is interrupted by the arrival of a classmate, who introduces himself as "one of your classmates" and asks the narrator to report back to the room student council. The narrator does not want to disappoint the classmate, so he asks the classmate if he has written something funny. The classmate replies that he has, and the narrator is shocked to learn that the classmate has written a funny letter. He asks if the classmate had written a letter about him, but the classmate says that he had not. He says that the letter was written by someone else and that he is not sure if it was written in jest or not.
