As Chapter 13 opens, Ani has just finished filming her account for the documentary. The director is blown away by the gripping honesty and meticulous detailing. The crew is stunned for a moment. Quietly the director asks Ani before she leaves for the day whether she would be willing to meet Dean on camera the next day. Uncertain over the wisdom of such a meeting, she nevertheless agrees.

That night at the hotel she texts Andrew, and the two meet for pizza. She tells him that she is reluctant to expose Dean for what he is. He makes such a perfect victim, the star athlete now wheelchair bound. However, 10 years after the shootings, she knows from hate email she still gets that people believe she was involved in planning the shooting and got away with it, and it continues to bother her: “I care about people believing me” (222). On a whim after dinner, the two drive to the Bradley campus. Finding the athletic center unlocked, they wander the darkened school halls. Even as she tells about knifing Arthur to end the rampage, the two share recollections of Arthur: his intelligence, his savvy way with people he deemed phonies, his unflappable self-confidence, and his quirky humor.
