More Than Human Part 2, Section 3 Summary

  • We're focused on the psychotherapist's office now, and Gerry has finished talking. Stern asks him how old he, the teen, is. Gerry says fifteen and asks what happened. The psychotherapist answers that Gerry did it all.
  • The teen says everything he recalled seems real, and that he felt all the emotions. Stern says anyone remembering in such detail feels better afterward because the hurt diminishes.
  • Gerry asks the psychotherapist if he believes him. Stern says that's not his business, and that all that matters is that it was real to Gerry.
  • Stern asks if Gerry still lives in the shelter. The teen answers, "Not for a long time. Not since Baby was three."
  • They talk a little bit about the shelter, and then Gerry tries to remember more. Stern prompts him with the Baby is three phrase. It sets off a chain of rhymes in the teen's head, leading into the next memory and section.
