Time and again, the author has deliberately intended to incite amusement and violence. That was part of the memories. The author is a corporate lawyer and has been ineffective in stopping mildly successful brothers who have taken awards and medals from John. John, scared and disheartened, discovers that getting up early in the morning and writing while sitting by the ocean ends with Alan's internal turmoil becoming too much for him to handle. Alan will belong to the child and be a part of her own treasure trove.
