Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Connor goes to see Branwell, but the visit is uneventful. He tells Branwell about going shopping and about their classmates asking how he’s doing, but Branwell doesn’t respond to anything, and Connor leaves without using his flash cards. Connor’s dad gets the enhanced tape back from the university, and Connor takes it over to Margaret’s house. On the tape, they can now hear a man’s voice asking what happened and Vivian telling him to “go.” Connor decides that it’s time to take the enhanced tape to Branwell to find out more.
Margaret calls to thank her dad for the tape, which Connor finds sweet. Connor goes to see Branwell and passes along the good news that Nikki no longer needs a respirator. Realizing that Connor won’t be able to identify the man’s voice on the tape with the cards he currently has, he turns them over and writes the alphabet, pointing at each letter and waiting for Branwell to blink twice. Branwell spells “MORRIS JJS PIZZA,” which Connor figures out means a man named Morris who works at the pizza place. He and Margaret decide to go for a slice and wait for Morris to come back from his deliveries.
