He expresses feelings of guilt to Dolores, who seemed extra sad in the current scenario. Luan's grandmother, Alice, calls him in for a meal prepared by Jackson.

WHAT HAPPENED, IN 50 WORDS:
In hoofstuk een-en-twintig worstel Luan met skuld en verwarring. Hy ontdek 'n dieper verband tussen Ouma Alice en Oom Jackson, verloor sy eetlus, en lees Lana se blog, wat hom beter oor haar laat verstaan. 'n Nagtelike impuls dryf hom na die Land Rover se sleutels - maak hom onseker oor sy volgende stap.
FULL SUMMARY:
In hoofstuk een-en-twintig worstel Luan met 'n onrustige gevoel, terwyl hy na sy onwettige afwykende-handeling en die gevolge daarvan nadink. Hy kom by met die skaap, Delores, aan wie hy sy noodlottige situasie toeken, maar hy besef dat hy eintlik die skuldige is. Ouma Alice nooi hom vir ete, en Oom Jackson maak opmerkings oor hulle "opwindende" dag. Luan sit stil en observeer sy ouma en Oom Jackson, aangemoedig deur 'n onneembare besef van hulle gedeelde geheim. Oom Jackson se kookkuns word duidelik met 'n heerlike pasta en slaai, maar ondanks Luan se nie-etende middag, het hy steeds nie 'n eetlus. Hy vul sy bord minder om nie ondankbaar te lyk nie. Luan voel 'n vreemde en onverklaarbare gevoel in sy bors wat hom ongemaklik laat voel en skep dit toe aan sy bed. Voor sy gaan slaap merk hy dat die Twitter en Instagram profiele van Delores gesluit is. Daarna soek hy vir Lana op Twitter, sien foto's van haar vakansie, haar kat, Sophie, en haar by die swembad met 'n boek. Hy volg 'n skakel na haar blog en begin lees. Luan is oorrompel deur Lana se wye leeservaring en haar blogging-toewyding. Hy leer meer van haar persoonlike lewe, haar oorskakeling na vegetariërskap na lees van The Sheep-Pig, en hoe sy met haar ma se kankerdiagnose hanteer deur boeke soos The Fault in Our Stars en Before I Go te lees. Hy besef dat sy beskeie blog net so vreemd is as sy ouma se windpomp-verhaspeling. Luan staan op om deur sy kamerdeur te loer nadat hy ure lank Lana se blog lees. Die huis is stil en donker, met sy Ouma en Oom Jackson wat blykbaar al lankal gaan slaap het. Hy sien dat Lana aanlyn is op WhatsApp en wonder oor wat hy moet sê. Hy besluit om beter te probeer wees, maar hy besef daar's iets hy eers moet doen. Hy sluip kombuis toe en sien die sleutel van die agterdeur en die Land Rover wat aan hakies hang naby die stoof.
