In this chapter, we are introduced to the "in chief" and his "actu ally" . The in chief is forbidden from talking to anyone, but he does talk to "a pretty good guy" , and the two of them discuss the "proper sleep and nutrition" of the protagonist. The protagonist tells the in chief that he has bought some cream puffs for the protagonist as a gift, and he asks the protagonist if he would like to take them with him. He tells the protagonist that he just finished writing a new story and that he will be able to take a look at it if the protagonist wants to. He says that the protagonist is "so awkward" and that his sweat is as bad as that of the last story he wrote. He praises the protagonist for his "senual scenes," and the protagonist says that this is "a real pleasure" to read. She says that one of her favorite lines in the story is the one about the protagonist's desire spilling out of him, and she says that she is "shaken actually so happy" after reading this line. She tells him that if they are done with this scene, then maybe the protagonist should go home and rest. She asks him if he is feeling tired, and when he says that he is, she tells him to "dump find your bedroom" and not to "wry flail" ; she says she can take good care of this herself.
