Miles returns to his dorm room and tells Ganke everything that happened that day. He wants a job so his parents won’t have to pay for his housing. Miles takes out his Spider-Man suit and pulls the mask over his face. He again remembers Uncle Aaron’s words, “You’re just like me,” as he stares at his covered face in the mirror. Miles tells Ganke that he needs to clear his head, and climbs out the window and onto the roof of the dorm building. He swings and jumps away from campus, thinking about the day’s events. He ends up near his neighborhood, and his spidey-sense starts to go off.

Miles sees a boy being chased by another man. The older of the two, a man with blond hair, grabs the boy, who squats and unlaces his sneakers. Miles remembers his father telling him about someone stealing sneakers in the neighborhood and jumps into action. He fights the blond man, using more strength and aggression than necessary, and uses his webs to tie the thief’s wrists together. Miles takes the blond’s shoes and gives them to the boy who watched the entire scene unfold. He threatens the thief one more time before leaving the area.
