The gang asks why Shu-Miao isn't with them, and the answer is that she stayed with the school's principal because she's afraid of what he'll do if she leaves. They're not sure why she stayed at the school at all, but they're sure that it's because of her fear of what she'll say if she does leave. The gang teases him about his mom's weird behavior, and he says that he doesn't feel any love for his mom anymore. They ask if he can tell them anything about his mother's strange behavior. He says that his mom never let him go, and that he's not sure if that's right or not. He also says that the former principal's album gave him some clues, and now he can't figure out why his mom put the insect in his body. He's sick to think about it, but he also knows that the picture in the album is the last clue left by the old woman.
