The protagonist's boyfriend tries to pressure her into sex. When she refuses, he embarrasses her in front of all their friends. The protagonist, a high school student, walks in on a teacher kissing her classmate. The student the teacher assaults acts as if it is her decision to be in this relationship, but it is clear in context that that is not the case. This teacher later follows the protagonist into the girls’ restroom at the school to proposition her. In the interlude between chapters 23 and 24, there is an interview of an unnamed person who killed a girl and her mother because the former wouldn’t go out with him. A boy tells the protagonist that she and other girls exist for boys’ “entertainment.”
