In this chapter, Nell deepens her relationship with the Primer, especially through the story of Dinosaur and Dojo, learning valuable lessons about play, self-defense, and resilience. She practices somersaults, experiences harsh discipline at home, witnesses violent confrontations involving her mother's suitors, and ultimately asserts herself against a bully named Kevin using skills inspired by Dojo's teachings. The chapter explores Nell's growth in physical and emotional strength amid a turbulent environment.
