Phil saw himself and Roger too, so, not only deceased. He saw a light after storm, a Cupid's arrow, ballons at prom... I think it's Stanly he has seen at the end of this chapter.
God save the explorer! 😜
Btw, I haven't understood well at the beginning of the chapter - what was the problem some guys at Fags for football had with Keith's weekend at hotel?
Always the same problem with bulling - if you say, you are snitcher; if you don't say, you are victim; if you fight back, you are bully; if you ignore, you are coward ... 🤪
Also, I don't understand school administration calling Manny in hospital, after operation, still in shock. Is it really something that cannot wait or being postponed a little bit? What if stress caused health complications, who would be responsible?
"No. I'm hoping he'll be able to get a hand transplant."
"Really? They can do that?"
"Yeah. I gotta run. I’ll catch you soon."
"A transplant sounds awesome. Yeah, call me later."
Of course they can!
Exactly! I've been wondering about Alex's immatureness and rebelliousness, but this chapter reviles some big elephants in the room!
It is so difficult to grow up without mother, in big brother's shadow! Never good enough whatever he does! Why bother then, only way to bring father's attention is to make problems around! He's like James Dean - Rebel Without a Cause.
And Joshua, at first, I thought that Alex is maybe not his biological son...but then again - they are so alike! Maybe that's the problem, for Joshua, looking at Alex is as looking at the mirror, and he is not happy looking at and being remind of his own life failures every day!
Seems that Matt has some clue about Alex and Blair...and their real feelings. The problem is he is already pretty estranged from his brother to be able to help him now. Hope they will improve their communication in the future.
Greg and Bart are great friends, mentors and support to Keith. It's a pity he hasn't meet them before... Nevertheless, I agree with @Summerabbacat that this has been 'ladies' chapter! 🙂 It was interesting to me Keith's testing 'tell about your boyfriend theory' with client. He might be surprised actually how many 'modern women' want to have 'a gay arts, crafts and fashion councilor'! It sounds so trendy! 😉
I cannot imagine traditional, conservative Duncan Heyward being admirer of Oscar Kokoschka! Wouldn't be surprised that author of bizarre Millennium Project is Francis himself, just hiding behind papa to get honest opinion from Vaughan! 😜
Well, @Lee Wilson, knowing your twists and turns, I wouldn't be surprised if those two fingers miraculously grow up, thanks to some new invented medical procedure! 😂
