Okay, now we're back at the beginning of the story, where the narrator is trying to figure out a way to make up for the fact that he's lost interest in his crush, daiki. He's bummed that he can't bring himself to go visit the family in Umino, but he also wants to take a picture of himself and Mina together. Mina's a little worried about what's going to happen to her crush, but the narrator reassures her that everything's fine between them. The narrator then asks Mina if she'd like to be his girlfriend, and Mina says that she would, but she's not sure if it's the right thing to do. She's worried that daiki has too much of a taste for accessories, and the narrator says that he thinks that's because daiki also has a good taste in "gids" . Mina tells the narrator that she is honored to know him, and that everything in the story is true because of her kindness to him. She also tells him that he has a crush on someone else, a girl he used to be friends with when he was a kid, but that crush turned out not to be as good as he thought it was. Mina wonders if there might be something between her and daiki, and she wonders if they're having an affair. Mina says she'll go visit them when things are back to normal, but first she wants to see Umino.
