In this chapter, we learn that Tommo has been working on his body. He's been trying to get stronger, but he's still not where he wants to be. He can't stand by Tommo's side, so he'll have to stay away from him. Tommo is all, "I'm not strong enough to protect you all the time, so I'm going to have to protect myself too" , and Tommo says, "All right, I'll go buy some new gym clothes" .
