In a letter to the reader, Ryan Dean alludes to the idea that in the uncertainties of life, one must try and weather the change and trauma that comes. This foreshadows Joey’s death in this section of the book.
In the first named chapter of the section, Ryan Dean tells the reader that from here on out, there won’t be any of the comics, illustrations, poems, or notes that have been incorporated into the narration thus far. In this last section of the book, it will be only text without visual artifacts.
Ryan Dean wakes up the next morning, a Friday, with everything seeming normal, although he’s still a little rattled by the atmosphere in the dorm the night before. He’s also depressed about the thought of staying on campus all weekend while his friends will be gone at their parents’ houses.
Joey isn’t in Calculus class, the first chance Ryan Dean would normally have had to see him. Ryan Dean wants to try and catch up with Joey before the other leaves to go home for the weekend. Meanwhile, Megan keeps flirting with Ryan Dean, telling them how much she enjoyed their sensual dancing the night before, which agonizes Ryan Dean.
