In this chapter, the narrator reflects on his life in Hong Kong. His family has moved many times, and he feels as though he has "a lot of homes," but he also feels like "nowhere was my home." When he first met Hang, he was 13 years old, and his parents moved from Hong Kong to a new city. When he met Sooyoung, the two of them were young adults, and Sooyoung told him to "beat me up," but the narrator refuses to give him a beating because he has nothing to lose.
