How we cite our quotes: (Part.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #10
He looks at me closely and says, "Keep living, Ed… It's only the pages that stop here." (5.the folder.26)
We thought we were the ones reading, not Ed. The mystery man tells Ed everything was written for his life, and he's just been going through the pages this whole time. Woah. Naturally Ed's not sure what to do next after mystery dude drops this bomb, and to be honest, we can't blame him.
Quote #11
"I did it because you are the epitome of ordinariness, Ed." He looks at me seriously. "And if a guy like you can stand up and do what you did for all those people, well, maybe everyone can. Maybe everyone can live beyond what they're capable of." He becomes intense now. Emotional. This is everything. "Maybe even I can…" (5.the folder.10).
… what? Maybe even he can what? The mystery man is quite an enigma, so we're not sure exactly what he wants to do. We are sure, though, that Ed has done exactly what the mystery man wanted or planned this entire time. The only question left is: did Ed do it because he wanted to, or because he had to?
