The chapter opens with the arrival of the new members of the band, and the narrator tells the audience that the band is trying to avoid romantic entanglements with other members. He asks the audience to imagine what it would be like to be a member of the group, and to imagine how it would feel to be in love with someone else. The narrator tells us that he wants the band to be as inclusive as possible, so that no one will be able to separate them from one another. He also wants the group to be more open and honest with each other, and he wants everyone to know that they're all in it together. He tells the group that he's sorry that Sara is angry because he wasn't clear about what he meant when he said that the group would do it together, and that his brother's mistake was the one that caused Sara to be so angry. The group agrees that they can continue as a group if they all work together.
