Penelope now understood what Clyde meant. At times, Lincoln can be a little annoying, but after she begins her romance with Clyde for some time after Lincoln leaves, he tells her of all the adventures he had with the albino. And not only that, he tells her what he has to go through. He even told her about Lynn's match and losing, and what caused the lie he told his family about bad luck and the squirrel suit. The girl was horrified to hear what Lincoln had to endure in those days, and now she understood better the way the white-haired boy was. Maybe he was crazy; maybe his family pushed him to be, and now she appreciates him even more that he didn't say anything about this child abuse case simply because he thought it was a temporary thing and a deserved punishment for being a liar.

Penelope felt Clyde's arms wrap around her waist.

"Thank you, my love, for listening to me."

Clyde said as he gave his sweetheart Penelope a sweet kiss on her lips.

-Back to the loud house-

Lucy was leaving her room, walking to the bathroom to put the shirt back on, but when she entered, she found her older sister, Luna. She was checking the laundry basket for something, which caught the attention of the goth girl, who didn't know what was going on.

"What are you looking for over there?" Lucy put a hand behind her back to hide the shirt under her jacket.

Luna worried at the thought that Lucy might discover what she was looking for there, which was Lincoln's shirt, and quickly thought of an excellent excuse.

"Oh, I forgot a pair of pants here with a hundred dollar bill in them, and I wanted to get them out before they washed and spoiled the money."

Luna finished with a big nervous smile, waiting for Lucy not to notice.

Lucy stared at her with one eye that didn't cover her hair, and luckily, she believed her.

Well, get it out quick; I have to use the bathroom.

Lucy, unaware of her sister's intentions in the bathroom, had other plans. When Luna was there, she couldn't leave the dress she had hidden under her jacket, but it occurred to her that she needed to use the bathroom. They both lied to each other to protect their secret that they were involved, but they both ignored it. After calming down, Luna gave Lucy permission to use the bathroom.

Lucy entered and locked the door, stashing Lincoln's shirt at the bottom of the laundry basket so Luna wouldn't notice there was another garment in the basket.

Having finished hiding the shirt, Lucy waited a minute and left so that her time would not seem too short to arouse suspicion.

Seeing Lucy leave, Luna ran like a bullet and blocked the door. Lucy had just watched her sister run faster than Lynn when she exercised or ate pizza for dinner. "Wow. I think she really wanted to go," said Lucy, backing downstairs. While in the bathroom, Luna finds the coveted shirt.

"Oh yeah, come here..." Luna said sheepishly on her cheekbones and heavy puffs. The Rock unzipped her pants and sat down on the bathroom floor, putting her hand under her panties. "Ahhh, Lincoln, baby, that's delicious."

Luna had a little pleasure while giving a jerk so strong that she arched her back and neck backward.

"Hmm linky. This smell, what a delicious smell, makes me... Mmmm."

Luna finished, cleaned herself up, and put the shirt back in the basket. At that moment, she fell silent, calculating something. Why was the shirt at the bottom of the basket if Lincoln was the last to take a bath?

Did Lincoln know what I had done the night before and decide to hide his clothes in the bottom of the basket?

And if so, why didn't he say anything?

This and many more questions form in Luna's mind, not knowing that it was Lucy who hid the shirt there. Luna came out of the shower completely normal but with great uncertainty in her mind.

Meanwhile, Lincoln was on the porch reading one of his many books, but he couldn't concentrate because of the memories of that morning, meeting Lynn, and what he'd done while he was in the shower. A range of emotions washed over Lincoln. Despair, frustration, desire, and guilt All those feelings were growing inside the boy. These became so intense that all that pent-up frustration from his childhood to adolescence exploded and took the form of an idea.

"You didn't mind doing what you did to me. I just enjoyed it. Why don't I pay her back with the same coin?"

That was the plan that years of frustration and a thirst for justice for some of his sisters had envisioned in the mind of that blind boy.

Evening hung over the Royal Woods. The Louds had come out to give Albert a tour of the new Royal Woods, a treat Lincoln had already had the previous day thanks to his friend Clyde, so he plainly decided he would not go and would spend the afternoon only exercising in the cellar. Perhaps he read another of his famous books.

When the whole family left, Lincoln put his plan into action. He carefully went downstairs to where Lynn was. This girl refused to go in the same car as Lisa, so she kept practicing. Lincoln walked sneakily, like Lucy, to the source of the sounds Lynn made when she breathed in while doing push-ups.

Lincoln waited for Lynn's breathing to tell him she was making a downward motion, and when he heard this, he threw himself on top of her, immobilizing her with a subjugation motion and preventing her from moving. When the girl realizes his identity, she is paralyzed by her brother's closeness and later by what she heard whispering in her ear.

"It's your turn to feel what you made me feel this morning."
