In this chapter, Nemo explains to Emma why he came to see her. He tells her that he ran away from her when he found out that she was pregnant. He says that he wanted to return her to her, but that running away was not fair. He adds that he took away someone "precious to you" and that even that wasn't true. He also says that when he went to the amusement park, he heard someone say that she shouldn't ever have been allowed to love. He wishes that he could have re-lized it sooner. When he learned the name of the band, he was so moved by the idea that he would be a part of it that he wished he could sing in it. He is so sorry that he should have died instead of her.
