I loved how Tyler handled the situation with the Parents. The one line that stuck out to me was
"Tyler noticed his friend rubbing the center of his chest. He’d seen him do it several times before. It seemed to be an odd, unconscious tick that started right after Kage died."
I think it will only be a matter of time until Ty asks Eli what that is all about.Does Eli fully understand it himself will he be initially not be forthcoming to Ty?There might be another ability Kage left inside of Eli that Eli isn't aware of that will come into play at the right moment
