… It’s clear, either I’m still alive, or, being dead, you can still feel the pain.” He then gets off the bus and starts walking down the road to go back home. The first thing he thinks when he wakes up on that bus is: “Have I been kidnapped? No, I must be dead. Imagine Holden from Catcher in the Rye minus the wit and any actual rebellion. He fits the image of every “emo” high school boy: dark, thinks very lowly of himself, harbors no goals or ambitions, and is always talking in pseudo-psychological tongues.
