Violet experiences a surreal dream where she is looking down at a valley from a beech tree and then feels the sensation of flying.
She wakes up, coming back to consciousness with the wind whistling outside and finds the blankets soaked with blood.
Violet is haunted by a dream contrasting her grown beauty with solitude and injury, reflecting a grim fate her mother had predicted and tried to prevent by sacrificing her own life.
Despite being cold and the candle still burning, Violet acknowledges that something has worked and she's free from something that was inside her, presumably Frederick.
Standing up is challenging for Violet as she feels weak and disoriented, suggesting she underwent a traumatic event.
Despite her exhaustion, she resists the urge to sleep again. She feels compelled to rid herself of something, presumably a byproduct of Frederick's presence.
Struggling for stability and basic needs, Violet consumes water and attempts to eat Spam, but she gets injured in the process, which causes her to bleed again.
The sight and texture of the Spam cause her to think of "the spore," which she is repulsed by and pushes away.
The chapter ends with a renewed wind that carries a peculiar pitch, seemingly whispering her name, hinting at a possibly ominous presence or calling.
