Chapter 9

Riki wakes from a nightmare in which his younger brother, Adi, begs him to bring him to America and asks why Riki abandoned him. His nightmare was interrupted by a phone call. The caller turns out to be Vera asking him why he is still asleep at 7:32 a.m. She has been checking Buzzfeed, and Riki’s supposed article hasn’t appeared. She tells him to come to the shop and take pictures for his article. When Vera hangs up, he recalls his confrontation with Marshall: Riki had threatened to kill Marshall if Marshall failed to pay him for a programming job. He tries to convince himself that he did nothing wrong but still feels guilty. Riki goes to Vera’s shop, where she chides him for his lack of article and shakes her head over the current generation’s work pace. In reality, he is in a rush to achieve financial success for the sake of Adi. Suddenly, the shop’s bell rings, and Vera introduces him to her “other suspect.”
