"To heat 43 captivity" is the title of this chapter's epigraph. It's a quote from the novel's first chapter, "To Heat 43," which was written by the same author who wrote "The Princess Bride" and "The Sound of Music." In this chapter, we're introduced to "edachu san," a dance instructor from England. He's here to teach a little boy who just won first place at a dance competition in the U.S. . He tells the boy that if he keeps practicing, he'll be a great dancer. He compares the boy to a sponge who soaks up all the good stuff in his own body. The boy's name is "hideo hyodo," and he's from the same town as "marissa hyodo" , the dance instructor's wife. The dance instructor says that the boy looks like a "euro pean," which is a reference to the fact that his hair is blond and his name is edachu. He also says that he doesn't understand why the boy is dancing the way he is, since his coach is "awful" . The teacher says that if the boy keeps dancing, he can become a world-class dancer.
