It's been two weeks since Arient moved out of his room, and Teta is still trying to figure out where he's gone. Teta says that she's fallen harder and harder in love with him, because of his "popularity" among the girls at the school. She's worried that he'll find out about her crush and give up on his studies. She sends him a series of e-mails, but he doesn't reply to her. She asks him why he didn't tell her that he was away, and he says that his parents don't allow him to have e-devices in the school, so he can't give her permission to do anything with them. He says that he hopes Teta won't forget their main objective, which is to get him to be her companion. He's ready, he says, and that's all Teta can ask for. She says that everything's for her survival, and she claps, "clap, clap already beat to submission" .
