Quote #10
"It's dangerous, Mom."
"Dangerous? Nothing on this island is half as dangerous as having her locked in her own world. Not one half, not one fourth, not one tenth as dangerous as that. So, I am not, do you two hear me, NOT ABOUT TO CHANGE ONE SINGLE THING ABOUT NATALIE'S DAY! (28.37-38)

His mom argues that the worst thing for Natalie is to be locked in her own mind, unable to reach outside of herself. She says that Natalie needs to be out there exploring the world—just like everybody else.
