In this chapter, we learn that Hikari and Enobaruchi have been secretly in love for some time now. We're also introduced to Hiroyuki, who's now twenty-one years old. He's still a bit of a mystery to us, but we're guessing it's because he doesn't know what to do with himself now that he's so young. We also learn that Hiroyuki's mother, Hikari's sister, has told him that he has rejected her many times, and that she's never been able to get over her feelings for him. Hiroyuki tells us that he can't eat at home right now because he has to go to work, but he'll be okay with that. He also tells us about his new job, which involves using adhesives to heal skin. We learn that some of these adhesives actually date back thousands of years to the Stone Age, and Hiroyuki is psyched that they're so popular today. He tells Hiroyuki that his boss, the manager, likes him so much that he wants to let him have some drinks. He says that he loves his job, too, but that he hasn't yet finished writing this chapter. He asks Hiroyuki if he'd like to go for a drink, and he says yes. He then tells him that his new boy is going to go home after he finishes this page, and then asks him to stop by the shop where he works. He goes on to say that he was surprised to see Hiroyuki at a beauty salon with a girl, and it was super cool that he didn't find a girl for himself, since he was so good at his job. He adds that he still has feelings for his mother, and wonders if he can get her back someday. He wonders if she'll ever get over his feelings for her, and if he should go to his mother's party one more time. He finally decides to go.
