- What Cadence is afraid to do is kiss Gat, so she does it.
- Gat kisses her back, and it's awesome, but then he stops and says he shouldn't do it.
- When she asks why, he says it's because she doesn't really know him—she only knows the Beechwood version.
- Another thing she doesn't know: the names of the staff, who are the only other people of color on the island besides Gat. The fact that she doesn't know their names makes him angry.
- He asks her if she's read Wuthering Heights. She hasn't.
- He tells her that Harris views him like the Earnshaws view Heathcliff—in Harris's eyes, Gat will never be good enough for Cadence.
- What's terrifying, Gat says, is that Harris is right: He'll always be a monster.
