In this chapter, we learn that the girl from the previous chapter is dead, and that the man who had sex with her is dead as well. We learn that this is because the woman had a "contract" with the man, and she died. The girl asks the man if he was sad about the woman's death, and the man says that he must have, because he was "holding back his words" about her. He says that the woman must have been holding back her words because she was holding back on learning more about him. This is " bugging" the girl, because she wants to know who the woman from the past was, and if she's a fraud or an older woman. She says that she'd like to know what's going on, but she can't find it anywhere in the book. She's afraid to leave her house in the middle of the night, so she begs the man to come in and explain himself.
