FULL SUMMARY:
In chapter 15 titled "Sondes," Greg is puzzled by an incomprehensible message from Xander Gericke that appears to be in Greek. It turns out to be a palindrome, which upon Googling translates to "Wash the sins off, not just the face." Greg concludes that Xander might be making a veiled request for a confession before providing help. Infuriated, Greg shuts his laptop. He arranges a brunch meeting at De Warenmarkt with his friend Plank, hoping a fully stomach might clear his thoughts. To his surprise, Plank shows up with Lisa, his love interest. The trio share a light-hearted, flirtatious conversation, with Greg and Lisa playfully teasing Plank about his eccentric habits and quirks. After the brunch, Greg feels lighter and manages to pen a raw and honest confession to Xander. In it, he acknowledges his father's heinous deeds, including the unleashing of a deadly virus and having a hand in Xander's father's death. He also admits his guilt of living off undeserved wealth possibly obtained illicitly, expresses despair about his brother's suicide, his mother's secret relationship, and his image as a "spoilt brat." He asks Xander if this confession satisfies him and whether he would now offer his help.
WHAT HAPPENED, IN 50 WORDS:
In "Donker Web" se vyftiende hoofstuk, ontsyfer Greg 'n palindroom van Xander, wat moontlik 'n versoek om belydenis is. Hy ontmoet Plank en Lisa vir brunch, en skryf 'n diepsinnige belydenis aan Xander, hopend om saam te werk en "Baker" se raaisel op te los.
FULL SUMMARY:
In hoofstuk 15 van "Donker Web", genaamd "Sondes", staar Greg onseker na 'n misterieuse Griekse frase wat hy op sy skerm sien. Hy besef dit is 'n palindroom en na 'n vinnige Google soektog, vind hy uit dit beteken: "Was ook die sondes af, nie net die gesig nie". Hy voel gefrustreerd en wonder of hierdie boodskap van Xander 'n eis vir 'n belydenis is voor hulle kan saamwerk. Hy besluit om sy frustrasie aan die kant te skuif en ontmoet sy vriend, Plank, vir brunch by De Warenmarkt. Tot sy verbasing is Lisa, Plank se vriendin, saam en sy is deur 'n mengsel van verbaasing en ongemaklikheid oorweldig. Tydens die maaltyd deel Greg enkele humoristiese anecdotes oor Plank met Lisa, wat lei tot 'n ligter en meer ontspanne atmosfeer. Na die maaltyd, besluit Greg om die moontlikheid te oorweeg dat Xander se misterieuse boodskap 'n versoek vir 'n belydenis moes dalk wees. Hy tik 'n diep en persoonlike belydenis uit aan Xander, erken sy vader se misdade, sy broer se selfmoord, sy ma se ontrouheid en sy eie onvolkomenhede as iemand gebore met voorregte. Hy stuur die boodskap in die hoop dat dit hulle verhouding sal versterk en hulle saam kan werk om die misterie van "Baker" op te los.
