It's been a while since we've heard anything from the narrator, and now he's alone in his room. He's not sure what to make of his situation, but he knows that he can't do anything about it. He remembers that some of his classmates were talking about how they'd like to experiment on themselves in the future, and that they were wondering if they could hear what they said. He can hear the voices of the students, but doesn't understand what they were saying. He also remembers that one of the teachers in his class is the leader of the school's gymnastic team, and he'd come up with the idea of doing gymnastics for the art festival last year. He tells the narrator that he thinks Miss Xun and Mr. 1 are going to get together, but that the other day he and a friend stopped by a dessert shop to see what the guy looked like, and the guy was "so cold and indifferent" that the narrator couldn't believe that he would have two sides. He asks the narrator why he would think that the guy would hold his hand, and she answers that it's because the guy is her new boyfriend. She also says that she's passing the money to him, and imagines herself passing it to him.
