In this chapter, Tachibana and Hayao talk about their love for each other. Hayao tells her that they're getting too close for comfort, and that she needs to get more friends. She tells him that she's going to spend time with both of them, and she says that she doesn't want to force them to be friends, because it's not the right thing to do. She also says that he's too good-looking for her, and he should put everyone else in the "friend" category. She says that Hayao has changed a lot in the past few months, and they've been trying to get her more friends, so they can get to know each other better. They're starting to get along, she says, but they'll have to get used to each other's company.
