The chapter opens with a conversation between the Governess and her son. The Governess tells her son that his mother has not been able to attend a parent-teacher conference because of the bad weather. She tells him that he should tell his mother that he has been practicing his kick-boxing skills and that he is not strong enough to do so. He tells her that he would like to tell her that she will be glad to hear that. She asks him to take care of his palm when he is confronted with a lie and to rip her money if he should inform the authorities of his past. He says that the day his test results came in right, he would peel his peel and peel the peel of the peel on his own skin. He asks his mother if he can have dinner and she says that he cannot make his come back if he gets fat. She says that she is sorry that she cannot cook or clean as the other mothers do. She adds that she has been working all day and that her whole day is spent with lessons or the theatre. She thanks her son for his hard work and says that it is okay that he works so hard. She then tells him about her husband who has gone missing. He is named yamashita and he has not returned home for a week. She wants to take him to the hospital and run away with him.
