Pet pushes Jam to get more information from Redemption about Moss, but Jam insists that they give Redemption time to calm down. After a while, Redemption tells Jam how Moss panics if anyone bathes him except their mother. Redemption recounts strange things that Moss says sometimes and the many bruises that Moss has. Redemption begins to feel rage that someone is hurting Moss. Pet is stirred into action by this rage, and Pet and Redemption become eager to hunt the monster and to hurt and kill it. Jam, shaken by their violent intentions, attempts to calm them down and suggests that they report the monster. Jam convinces Redemption to come to her house instead of returning to his own home. Jam scolds Pet for being reckless in hunting the monster. Pet begrudgingly agrees with her. At Jam’s house, they pretend nothing is wrong at dinner with Bitter and Aloe. While Jam is upstairs taking something out of the laundry for her mother, Redemption runs out of the house. Jam checks her phone and listens to a voice message from Redemption. Redemption has realized that Jam knew that the monster was in his house all along.
