Glorious Hill
- The girls are staying with Hirohito and his mom while Cecile is locked up.
- Delphine feels weird not being the one in charge. Mrs. Woods even encourages her to play, which she's not so sure how to do.
- So she curls up with Island of the Blue Dolphins instead.
- Then Hirohito interrupts her to offer her a ride on his go-kart.
- Delphine tries to refuse—she's too big for this silly kid's stuff—but her sisters egg her on, too, until eventually she agrees, if only to prove that she's not afraid to go.
- To be clear, Delphine is totally afraid; she's certain she's going to crash and burn. She keeps her fear a secret, though.
- Hirohito assures her it's safe, saying his dad built it, which comes off as a genuine guarantee.
- Delphine can't say no to that.
- So Hirohito and her sisters give her a shove and she is off racing down a hill.
- Delphine feels time racing away and she screams, realizing that she has never actually screamed before.
- She feels like a kid—no cares, no responsibilities, no worries—and it is glorious.
