- Reese is in detention for the next five days. The accommodations are grim, and he notices that whoever designed the room made it impossible for a prisoner to commit suicide.
- Time is passing really slowly for Reese, and he begins to feel as though he'll be in detention forever.
- He thinks about K-Man's letter. He's not so bothered that someone else got shot—it seems to happen all the time.
- Reese feels like he's losing himself, like he's turning into someone he doesn't know. Sort of sounds like what Mr. Hooft was talking about before…
- Day two. Reese wonders if he'll be sent upstate, where people get stabbed.
- He thinks about his father, who he sees as weak, despite the physical abuse. He feels like soon he'll be able to fight back.
- Reese reflects on King Kong and thinks KK couldn't improve himself even if he tried.
- He thinks about how everyone in his life has nothing—his captors have even taken away the option to end his own life. So yeah, Reese is in a really bad place.
