The chapter opens with a flashback to the previous night's performance. In this scene, we learn that the protagonist, Nemo, is in the midst of a "performance madness" . He is shaken up by the events of the previous evening. He apologizes to his bandmates for his behavior, and they agree to settle the matter the next time they are together. The protagonist apologizes again, saying that he was in a "hurr" , and that he will not lose this time. He says that he looks forward to meeting his students again, and promises that they will be able to resolve the matter once and again. He tells his students that they look like "young good kotaro" and that they should not ruin their "delicate young fantasy" by dressing up like "thugs." He also tells them that he is going to ask his students to dress up as "the perfect gentleman" and show them "a good time."
