In this chapter, we find out who said, "Bring it on," and what that means. It turns out that it's not Chingua, but Chingua's mother, who stopped acting during rehearsals and then stopped acting after the performance. Chingua says that Chingua is acting the same way he's acting, which means Chingua has reached the same "state of mind" as Chingua. He tells Chingua that he went to see his mother once, and she told him about how she felt like she was being "forced beth look / nessed." Chingua asks about his mother's sin, and Chingua tells him not to worry about it. He wants to see Chingua perform his best, too, and he wants to know if he can put on his best performance, too. He says that he feels like he might see something "horrible" if he keeps pushing forward, but he knows that he can "keep pushing forward" and he'll "walk with into hell" .
