In this chapter, we learn that the girl in question is the same girl from the same school as the artist, and that the artist's neighbor is also the same person. The artist tells the girl that he's hiding his real name so that she won't recognize him. He also tells her that his neighbor's name is the name of a famous person, and he hopes that she'll fall in love with him. The girl is confused, and the artist apologizes for making her feel like a loser. He says that he has been thinking about starting something like his own serialization, but that he doesn't have the experience to do it himself.
