Cindy reveals her story of how she achieved her American dream, which was to rise out of poverty and join the upper-class through marriage. She keeps stirring with her silver spoon, which is both a nervous tic and a reminder that it belongs to her, that she finally has all of the beautiful things she wants. However, her grasp of these things is tenuous, it seems—reliant on her ability to maintain a façade of perfection. She asks Neni not to tell anyone about what she saw yesterday because it would destroy the illusion that Cindy wants to maintain.
