In this chapter, we learn that Axl and the rest of the gang are worried about what's going to happen to their company. They're also worried about how they're going to keep up appearances and keep up with Helena's security. Axl says he doesn't have a secret, but he's worried that if he does, it'll all be symbolic. He's also worried that Helena is going to leave the company, which will make it even more difficult for them to get back on the right track. He says they'll have to fight about it later, but they've got a big fight on their hands right now, so they can all go to the Soundstage and listen to what Helena has to say. He tells them that he'll take a hard look at himself and erase all traces of his face with a gun. He wants to warn them all that something's up, and he wants them to be ready to do so.
