In this chapter, the protagonist explains that he is a member of the "space police" and that he has come to Earth on a secret mission. He tells us that eighteen days ago, dolls appeared at high schools all over the U.S., and they began a game in which they would die by falling from the sky. The dolls were called daruma, and the students played with them. The protagonist says that he sees that the whole world is in serious trouble, and he wants to ask the students to help him. He asks if there is anything else he can do to help, but the protagonist says he will only focus on the problem at hand. He says that no one has been able to return to the station since the day he arrived, so he will have to kill anyone who asks him about him. When the protagonist asks if he is even alive, he says he is, and that his name is Akashi. He thanks the protagonist for this article, and thanks him for coming to the rescue of the world. He then asks if the protagonist knows where Akashi is now, and if he knows where he is then, then he is alive.
