"You're my friend, but I can't let you know that I killed your father, because you might tell that to someone else and that would be unpleasant for me."

Tell you what, I've made peace with this chapter. It shows Harry as a flawed protagonist, and in a more interesting way than Eliezer's usual "I was flawed because I was not smart enough".

Harry may be shown as flawed in this chapter, but choosing to keep extremely important secrets secure is not one of the reasons.
