In the middle of the night, carol wakes up and tells her brother that she's been hurt in the dream. She's worried that the school isn't doing enough to treat her injuries, but her brother reassures her that they're doing everything they can to get her back on her feet. He tells her that it's better to be quiet than to get into a fight with the other students because they'll figure out what to do if they find out about the theft. The other students, he says, are smart enough to know that they can figure out a way to stop the theft from spreading. He also tells carol that the first thing she asked after waking up was where she was, so she'd better go and see her. He doesn't blame her for causing her to lose her chance to get up on her own feet, though, because he's the one who caused her to fall. He says that he knew he'd wake up from the dream sooner than later, and he tells her to be nice to her.
