The Elderly Man
Clay’s mom interrupts Clay several times while he listens to the tapes, usually to offer help, comfort, or food. Thanks to her persistence, Clay is at least subconsciously aware that she loves and cares for him—something Hannah doesn’t feel in her own life, partly because her mother is often distracted from caring for her. Clay’s mom’s concern for him is something he echoes in his concern for other people, particularly Skye, who he resolves to reach out to at the end of the novel.

“Did you order yet?”
I swivel around. Mom sits on the stool next to me and pulls out a menu. Beside her, on the counter, is Hannah’s shoebox.
“Are you staying?” I ask.
If she stays, we can talk. I don’t mind. It would be nice to free my thoughts for a while. To take a break.
