Section 17 Summary

Adam reaches out to his alter ego, Amy, for comfort and reassurance. He is alone and seeks a connection with his past, the only person he considers calling on his journey. He has said she is the most important person in his life. However, Adam reaches a wrong number.

Section 17 Analysis

Adam's response is despondent. He feels he doesn't deserve happiness, courage and independence. Amy represents all this and he can't reach her. The wrong number is another block to keep him from discovering another truth. Subtly he knows this and so another distraction looms before him - the troublemakers threaten him and he has to focus on escaping them and not looking further into the hidden truth around Amy.
