In this short scene, the narrator tries to figure out how to respond to the message sent by the police. He realizes that the police have 24 hours to respond, but he's too busy to do anything about it. He's worried that his friends are going to turn into the police, and they're going to throw the book at him for not responding faster. He apologizes and says that he just had a "little accident" and that he'll do better next time. He tells the police that his friend Ayame has been sleeping through the whole thing, and that she's lost her mind. He also tells them that his big brother doesn't seem to care about him at all. He says that if he were to die, he'd be the only person in the world who'd truly care for him. The narrator says that's not a good idea, because he'm not going to die alone with his friend. He wants to be alone with someone.
