This chapter opens with a conversation between a bar owner and a young man. The young man asks the bar owner if he is an herbivore or a carnivore, and the young man answers that he is. The bar owner is shocked to learn that this young man has been eating a carnivore. He is also shocked to discover that the man is not the same young man he thought he was, and that he has been transformed from a promising young man to one who has been "sucked" by the animal. The man is upset that he was called beautiful by the man, and he is annoyed that the young person has been called a "popu-lar guy" when he is in such a bad mood
