The chapter opens with a description of Amami, a student at the school. She's a good student, but she doesn't seem to be interested in other people. The narrator notes that she's been in the class with Amami since the beginning of the school year, but that everyone has given up on her in the last few years. Amami is the class rep, so she gets to pick her up thirty minutes before class starts. She says she'll go through the class log and submit it to the teacher's office. She thanks the teacher for the extra time, and says she hopes it will make a difference in Amami's life during her time at school.
