Vyn expresses that he wants to talk to Vera Walton after class. The main character waits outside of the classroom and sees Vera leaving in a hurry. Vyn and the MC share their observations regarding Vera's behavior, concluding that relationship problems are the most likely cause. Since Vera is distrustful of men, the MC suggests that she should be the one to talk to her. She schedules a meeting with Vera, during which Vera deflects every question and walks away. After hearing about Vera having a boyfriend, Vyn suspects that they're dealing with a PUA, or "pickup artist."
In his room, Vyn monologues about his thoughts on the MC to an active voice recorder.
