"How many times have I jerked off" is the first line of the chapter, which opens with the narrator's declaration that he is "such trash" and that he "jerks off" on his "cousin sister" . The narrator asks the reader to imagine what it must be like for him to jerk off on his cousin. He imagines that his cousin is asleep, and he wonders who is thinking of him while he is jerking off. When he wakes up, the narrator realizes that he has fallen asleep. He wonders why he took a shower late at night when he only went out for a reunion, and wonders if his cousin has figured out what he has been doing. He realizes that his towel is gone, and that his scent is that of his cousin, who he thinks is asleep. When the narrator asks if she is up, she gasps that she is, and the narrator wonders if it is because she is an animal, or if she smells like her cousin. When she realizes that her cousin is sniffing her, she wonders if she was in her room when she fell asleep. She wonders if her cousin has been thinking of her, and she wonders why she is being looked at in this way. She realizes that she has done for now what she thought was just her "excited thinking of you" , but she is happy that she thought of her in that way, and feels that she and her cousin are the same way.
