FULL SUMMARY:
In Chapter 21 of ‘Permanent Ink', Robert is insomnia-ridden, waking up in the middle of the night. With Bullebrak, his dog, for company, he irritably rummages through the kitchen refrigerator, discontent with its healthy contents. Making a towering sandwich, he retreats back into his room where he navigates social media while enjoying his late-night meal. His derisive comments about Amir’s pitiful online presence turn bitter when he remembers rumors about Amir and Zelda’s growing closeness. This potential relationship enrages him due to his own unrequited feelings for Zelda. In a fit of anger, he discards his meal, leading to a mess he worsens by flinging a milk bottle against a wall. He seeks solace in a glass of whiskey, contemplating his distaste for school and his disappointment in having to spend time with Amir while refurbishing the Old Dormitory. He resolves not to let Amir best him and dresses in a black outfit, then fetches a black backpack filled with spray paint cans. With an air of rebellion and retribution, and with Bullebrak in tow, Robert heads out into the night with a plan to "paint the town red."
