The whole kitten thing was hilarious - from Corbin talking to the little girl, Pete doing the "potty" training right up to the comparative "croch comfort" test. Just too funny.
Corbin's revelation right at the end of the chapter was helpful, at least now I better understand why he's beating his head against a wall. Will this insight cause him to back off and save himself the frustration? I'm thinking not, even if the story plot needs him to continue the head banging.
Seeing that it's only chapter 4, I imagine Pete will continue to be the enigma he is for quite a while yet. When he asked Corbin if anyone at OD dated, I started thinking maybe he just wants to be "courted" but that seemed too simple given how obtuse he's been. Mind you, I think I warmed up to Pete a little bit here; not sure why.
Great chapter!!
