In this chapter, we learn that Mr. Gadani's life has changed significantly in the past few months. He has lost his job, his house, and most of all, his money. He's also been addicted to playing video games, which has left him with very little time to spend with his family. He begs Gadani to give him seven days to come up with a solution to his financial problems. He tells Gadani that he's already given him the seven days, but that he has one condition: Gadani has to approve the regis-tration before it can be carried out.
