But there's something about Ellie, like talking about this stuff won't get him the kind of weird looks or shallow sympathies he generally gets back home with most of his peers from school. ]
I never really knew my parents, so it was my aunt May and my uncle Ben who took care of me, you know? And when we lost Ben, it was — it was pretty bad.
[ Mostly he still blames himself for what happened, when the whole thing could have been avoided, but that's something he doesn't think he could share, not with anyone. ]
