In this chapter, we learn that Kate's father wrote many love letters to her mother when he was in love with her, but that her mother would hide her feelings to test his love for her. Kate and her family have been working on a new song together, and one day, he told them that he was working on something "very promising," and that when the day came, their family would also have a lot of money and fame, which would be even better than now. He was busy, however, and soon he began to return less and less, and Kate just got home to tell him that she had gotten the money. Kate says that her father was a righteous man who loved and respected everyone, and that she is sorry that she doesn't feel well. She says that she only realized that she was suffering from mental illness when her mother lost her lover.
