[3] When the boy finds an injured bird, he becomes happier and begins to notice more people, and his introversion lowers.

Colin spends the next several days taking care of the bird on his balcony and playing with it in the woods, dodging both the vet and the landlord, who forbids pets within the apartment complex where Colin's family lives, to maintain custody over the bird.

As he continues to play in the woods and hills with the bird, he daydreams of creating a massive paper plane using pages from his green book that he can summon at will.

The experience would come to define Colin for the rest of his life, as depicted in Finding Paradise.
