The next morning, the Governess is worried that she has forgotten to ask for money. She's also worried about her son, who's been at the academy for six years. The Governess tells herself that she'll take care of the boy for her, and that she doesn't really know much about him. She wonders if he was bullied, or if he's a "clitie pie" . She also wonders if someone has been harassing her lately, and if she's being paranoid. She tells herself to stop being paranoid, and to stop worrying about the money. The boss tells her that she can't continue to make payments on her debt, and she has to pay him every single penny she owes. She says that she might be able to make up for the money she owes by selling some of her blood, but she'd still have to visit her mother and her aunt
