Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Dylan waits outside the church for Twitch and Jenna. He studies the church’s architecture, finding it fascinating. Jenna shows up and asks what he’s looking at. He worries she’ll find him lame if he talks about the architecture, but he does so anyway, describing the history of gargoyles. Twitch joins them, bouncing and bumbling as usual. Dylan asks if he can take medication for his hyperactivity, and Twitch describes being on Ritalin in elementary school.
As they make their way in, Amber catches up to them. Much to Dylan’s dismay, Jenna invited Amber to join them. They line up for lasagna, Caesar salad, and fresh fruit. Dylan helps Twitch, and it reminds Dylan of helping Micha and Jordan.
Ainsley approaches Dylan and his group. She’s in her mid-20s and has scars and old track marks on her arms. She greets them, and Dylan tells her not to bother preaching because he doesn’t believe in God. She says that’s not what she’s there for; she’s just a volunteer. She recognizes Twitch and Amber and asks for Jenna’s name. Jenna introduces herself as Jewel, which reminds Dylan of the photo the police showed him.
