Wow, kind of an emotional chapter. It's all about Hugo packing his bags and leaving the house. At the end he's basically waiting for his sister Allison to leave with him, liked they'd discussed. But she decides not to for some reason, and it doesn't go into too much details but you can tell Hugo is bummed. What is her deal? we wonder.
One inside joke that readers might not get: Hugo packs a copy of something called "Fireland" in his bag. That's also the name of a website that used to be written by the guy writing this story. Little inside reference there. I felt like the bottle filled with something unknown is also a reference to something I saw on Fireland, but I can't find it now. Stayed tuned to FORT BLACK for the behind-the-scenes info.
