Chapter 23.2 – Are you going to kiss?

Chapter 23.2 <— hurry, click on that and read it. Thank you very much to Whitney who donated again!

Xiu’s black box is his brain.

You know how at the end of each chapter there’s always an extra? It’s either an excerpt from “Mixed Blood” or a “black box.” At first it wasn’t really clear to me what the black box is but a little bit of Googling did the trick. A “black box” is a type of device whose inner workings are opaque. I mean, you can’t see what is happening inside the box, hence it’s a “black box.”

Apparently, the human brain is type of  black box. Therefore, when there’s a black box section, that shows what is going on in Xiu’s brain.

The opposite of a black box is a white box or a clear/glass box that allows you to see what is happening inside it.

  1. if you’re interested, black box is actually a psychological term invented by behavioristic psychologists (who did stuff in the 20th century). they thought the human brain (it’s thoughts, feelings, etc.) could be impossible to study or to discover, a black box that couldn’t be looked into…today, of course more psychologists believe that feelings and thoughts can be studied, but that’s where the term came from 🙂 sorry for the info dump, just thought someone might be interested

    love the novel by the way <3
