In this chapter, the narrator laments the fact that he has lost his first love, Henry, and that he is now hanging out with the boy who reminds him of him. He asks Henry why he kept him from telling him the story of how they met, and Henry tells him that he was hurt by the story, but that he does not want to tell him the whole story because he feels like he has to explain everything. Henry tells the narrator that he accidentally dropped his wrist while playing a game of baseball, and the injury is not serious. He invites Henry to come to his house after he leaves, and they chat for a while. Henry asks Henry if he is going to go to the cafe, but Henry says that he will not, because he wants to talk to Henry alone. Henry then asks Henry what he is supposed to say about his habit of glancing at him when he is staring at him. Henry replies that he needs to tell Henry something about his "habit" of staring at people when they are looking at him, and he asks Henry to explain why he lied about not liking baseball.
