How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Panel)

Quote #7

[7.103-107]

Monkey's changed. He offers to seek medical help for Wong Lai-Tsao's wounds, and he also finally rids himself of his ridiculous shoes when Wong Lai-Tsao asks him to. This is Monkey returning to his true self—a total shift from the chapter when he forces his monkeys to wear shoes.

Quote #8

[8.1-8.4]

Jin's starting to act like a butt, and he asks Wei-Chen to lie to his parents for him while he's on his date with Amelia. True—this kind of stuff happens all the time between friends, but then that makes us wonder: is asking your friend to lie for you a form of betrayal?

Quote #9

[8.109-8.124]

This is the big betrayal in the book. Jin kisses Suzy, Wei-Chen's girlfriend, which leads to Wei-Chen punching Jin and walking away from their friendship. What's Jin thinking? Why does he kiss Suzy in the first place anyway? He's not even attracted to her… Or is he? And even if he were, does that matter? He still broke the number one rule between guys (and friends in general): don't try to steal another guy's girl.
