- Jamie's in Memphis.
- And P is dead.
- Excuse us for a moment; we seem to have something in our eye…
- When Jamie arrived, P was already unconscious, and the hospice nurses sat him down and explained that P's internal organs were failing.
- Oh, and Jamie's fifteenth birthday happened, but he was so exhausted he slept through it.
- Jamie found a stack of P's plays and was amazed to find that P had written eighteen of them.
- P chose to be cremated, but there was a memorial service. The whole family came, but Jamie sat far away on a hill so they couldn't see or hear him.
- He almost revealed himself, but decided not to; he feels completely "outside of their lives" and wants to be a ghost to them.
- Jorge offered to let Jamie live with him, and Jamie's going to. He'll be living in the room where P died, which seemed creepy at first, but now he thinks he might like it if P haunted him.
- Jamie's sorry P got sick. He misses him, and hopes he'll have P's courage someday.
