The Governess tells the students to read the chapter in order to recognize that they are the offspring of the Governess's parents. She tells them not to be rude to the other students and to work with them. She also tells them to be friends with them and not to hang out with strangers. She says that everyone has his or her own struggles and that hanging out with people might not help at all. She asks the students if they are still working on their studies. They tell her that they were close to their parents when their father died and that they still haven't spoken to each other since. They say that they have never fought and that it is their fault that they don't see each other often.
