The narrator tells the audience that the story of his "certain ruin" is "no" . He says that he doesn't know what kind of life he's going to have. He's not sure if he'll live a happy life or one that's full of pitfalls. He wonders if the narrator is too self-absorbed to realize that life is full of "pessimistic" temptations. The narrator asks the audience to imagine what life would be like if he were the protagonist of the story. He tells us that he'd like to have a tutor to help him deal with his "awkward wardness." He asks the narrator to tutor his mom, who has asked him to help her with her crush, igarashi, who is no match for her. He thinks that this is a trap, because he has a "girl friend" , but what if the girl is really a "love letter" ? What if the letter turns out not to be love at all, but just a dirty love letter? The narrator is worried that he will end up "being the loser" and that he won't be able to deal with the situation. He wants to know if his mom caught a cold, and if he can let her know that his little brother is about his age. He also wants to tell his mom that his "altle girl" is trying to kidnap his little sister.
