    the ending is the second worst part to me because it’s supposed to uplifting because the child finds friendly people, but this is still true; so there’s no happy ending.

      Are they friendly? Or do they just act that way just to lead the boy away? They’ve been watching for a while, why didn’t they step in and offer to help before?

      I used to think your way, that there was a glimmer of hope at the end of the bleakest book I’ve ever read, then somebody explained it to me that way, and that glimmer flickered out.
