In this chapter, we learn that Beguilino is worried that his wife and daughter-in-law are not going to school. He tells us that he's worried about a "hole among holes" in their relationship. He's also worried about the fact that they're supposed to be married, and he'd like to know what's up with that. He asks his daughter what she's doing, and she tells him that she hasn't been able to study this morning because of the frosty weather. She says that she thinks her father is "in a fine mood" today, and that she still wants to go for it. She's not worried about her father's "pen name flap" , though, because she knows that she'll get some "serious stalker vibes" when she sees him. She asks him what the "bondage book" is, and when he tells her that it's a book about love, she asks him to read it with her. He doesn't know what to make of it, but he'll give it to her anyway. She tells him to stop trying to study with him, and then she leaves.
