In this chapter, we learn that Shuejima has left his job as a fashion designer and is now working as a model. We learn that he is leaving because he wants to "prove certain people wrong" , and that this woman named zuku is the one who is trying to prove him wrong. We also learn that the manager of the fashion show is also leaving, and he is very upset. He wants to know what is going on with the two of them. He tells us that he has a gig and that he needs to leave, too. He says that he will call him later, but first, he asks if he can talk to the other woman. She tells him that she is very serious and still obeys the manager. He asks her if she is serious, and she says that if he is actually serious, then he should be more " defiant" . She says that she has the gifts she could never have, even if she wanted to be an idiot. She asks him if he thinks he can just use her like his mom, but he says that is not the case. He also asks if she will have any problems quitting modeling if she proves that she can be a designer. She replies that she will, but that she knows that she cannot advance to her manager, since she will not get through to his dad, shizuku, or to his manager
