In this chapter, we meet a young man who has just returned from a six-month stint in Hong Kong. He is a member of a famous snooker club in the city. He spends his days working out, studying, and playing the game in order to improve his chances of becoming a professional in the country. The young man, who has no idea what he's talking about, is a bit taken aback by the amount of time the young man spends in front of the mirror.
