Everyone at school knows about it, and the school contacts the family and promises to find out the truth. Since then, the boy has been lying on his bed all the time. He's scared to tell his father the truth, and he's also worried that he'll get into trouble for it. He tells his mother that he never asked her to publicize anything, and that she's the one who did it. She tells him that she already told him to stop, and she'll protect him. He says that he didn't ask her to do anything wrong, and now he has to do something for her. He calls her a "bastard" and tells her to run away.
