Zelda and Amir share an intimate moment, which Robert interrupts. He criticises Zelda's behaviour, provoking a reaction from Amir that results in a physical confrontation. When Robert tries to continue the fight, Amir protects himself, causing Robert to fall. Dr. Burke intervenes, ignoring Zelda's attempts to explain and his preconceptions lead him to unfairly and without proper investigation, blame Amir for the conflict. Dismissing Zelda, he orders Amir to leave, threatening his school position and misrepresenting Amir's hacking as per his earlier instruction, as self-motivated.

FULL SUMMARY:
In Hoofstuk Drie-en-Twintig van "Permanente Ink" vier Zelda en Amir Valentynsdag saam by die skoolbal terwyl hulle beste vriendin, Mia, henersoek na moontlike dates. Amir verras Zelda met 'n Coke-blikkie versier met 'n roos en 'n strik, terwyl hulle gepas probeer om Robert, 'n afgunstige mede-skolier, te ignoreer. Robert kom onder die invloed dreigend nader en maak 'n sarkastiese opmerking voordat hy Zelda 'n ruk gee, wat haar Coke-blikkie laat val. Amir gryp in en 'n fisiese konfrontasie ontwikkel, waarin Amir Robert afstamp. Hulle word onderbreek deur Dr. Burke, die skool sielkundige, wat besluit om nie na Zelda te luister nie en Amir vra om huis toe te gaan. Nog verslae, probeer Amir albei Zelda en Dr. Burke bel, sonder sukses. Hy begin vrees oor die konsekwensies van hierdie insident en die rol wat Dr. Burke daarin gespeel het. Terwyl hy die skoolterrein verlaat, word hy aangeval deur 'n onbekende persoon en raak bewusteloos.
