"The replacement min cough" is the title of this chapter's soliloquy. It's about a guy named Andrian who wants to do something before he dies. He wants to go to school, but he doesn't know what to do with himself. Andrian says that he's not really a bookish person, and that school isn't as bad as he thinks it is. He's just kidding, he says. He thinks he might meet his "dream girl" at school, and he wants her to live her life and fall in love with him. He promises to watch over her from the top of the stairs.
