Where does Ana follow Cesar to and why? Be specific and use textual evidence to support your response.

PG 260

Puffer fish can kill you if you eat them, yet some people take the risk and die. Keep your eyes open and don't be a pendeja like all the other girls in Los Guayacanes who fall for men with too much sugar in their mouths. Puffer fish inflate into a ball when they feel threatened as a warning to predators. The males work endlessly on designing their territories to attract a mate. Burrowing diligently with their fins, reorganizing shells. They work twenty-four hours and many many days without taking a break. The males have many mates and reign over multiple female territories. Once the female is in his territory and tries to leave he will bite her. The female is only allowed a visitor if the visiting fish mutes its bright blue, yellow, and orange spots so that the king puffer fish doesn't feel threatened.
You get what I'm saying, Ana?
