Images of people flashed across his mind, but there was no recognition, their faces replaced with haunted smears of color. He couldn’t think of one person he knew, or recall a single conversation” (Chapter 1, p. 2).
2. “His memory loss was strange. He mostly remembered the workings of the world—but emptied of specifics, faces, names. Like a book completely intact but missing one word in every dozen, making it a miserable and confusing read. He didn’t even know his age” (Chapter 3, p. 15).
3. “‘Listen to me, Greenbean.’ The boy wrinkled up his face, folded his arms. ‘I’ve seen you before. Something’s fishy about you showing up here, and I’m gonna find out what’” (Chapter 3, p. 17).
4. “‘I know you,’ Gally added without looking back. ‘I saw you in the Changing, and I’m gonna figure out who you are’” (Chapter 5, p. 32)
