Us Against You Chapters 21-25 Summary & Analysis

Chapter 21 Summary: “He’s Lying on the Ground”

Amat goes to Benji’s house to find out if he is okay because he didn’t show up for practice. The moment Adri sees Amat, she knows something is wrong with Benji—he would never miss the first day of hockey practice. Adri and Benji are similar, they share something quite intimate in their personalities. This is not the first time Benji has disappeared with a gun into the woods, but it reminds his sisters of their father’s suicide. Adri finds Benji lying on the ground, but he is alive, just resting there thinking. Adri tells him Zackell wants to make him the captain, which perks Benji’s fear—an almost foreign emotion for him.

Meanwhile, Sune checks on Zackell after he heard about the prank Bobo played on her. Zackell assures him that only she can decide what she is offended by, and Sune realizes that Zackell truly doesn’t care what others think of her. She only cares about winning. Later, Zackell goes back to the Bearskin for some food, where the wives of the regulars send her a drink and Ramona tries to give her food she’ll eat as a vegetarian.
