Duncan Shows Up on His Day Off, Explained：seal the deal
Owen and Duncan banter like coworkers who annoy each other on purpose, trading lines about coffee, authority and whose place the park is. The teasing turns serious when someone asks, 'Does your mom know that you work here?' — a reminder that Duncan is hiding this job from his family.
あらすじ
Duncan turns up at the water park on his day off and finds Owen there as well. They bicker about coffee, authority and who is in charge. Then Duncan's friends call him over, someone teases him about the older girl he was talking to, and Owen pages him over the PA system. Owen also tells the story of the park's late creator, who never wanted it repaired or updated.

What's really going on
For all the joking, the chapter is about two people who use banter to say things they would not say plainly. Owen needles Duncan about coffee and authority, but he is also the one who gave him a shirt and a job; his question, "Does your mom know that you work here?", lands as a real one. It reminds us that Duncan is living a separate life at the park that his mother knows nothing about, and that the park is where he gets to be someone. The story of the creator who did not want the place repaired is Owen's way of explaining why the park looks the way it does, and why he loves it. Duncan's comeback that he held out as long as he could shows he knows the park is the one thing he will not give up.
