Super Sad True Love Story

The next chapter returns to Eunice Park’s GlobalTeens account. GlobalTeens gives Eunice a “super hint” about how “excessive typing makes wrists large and unattractive” (42) and suggests switching to images mode. But Eunice is looking “to verbal with” (42) a friend, and she messages Grillbitch to tell her she misses speaking in person.

Eunice describes her date with Ben, which she enjoyed until she started telling him “that his feet smelled” and he got “all intro” (42). Turning off his äppärät, he was also able to hide his feelings. The two still had sex, but it was just “all right” (42), and Eunice had a panic attack after. His efforts to comfort her failed, and she describes feeling “shame” and “undeserving of being with someone like Ben” (42). Eunice also explains her family’s domestic abuse and money loss issues to her friend. Although she feels no shame about spending her cruel father’s money overseas, she explains, she also cannot forget the good things he’s done.

Grillbitch responds with her “way sad” (43) condolences at Eunice’s emotionally complicated situation: “[P]arents can be really disappointing but their [sic] the only parents we have” (43). With continued misspellings, Grillbitch works to encourage Eunice, notably by pointing out that Ben clearly thinks she is “just a real tough slut” (43).
