Full summary
Chapter 25:
The protagonist wakes up, sweaty and shaken like every morning since the accident, with a sudden terror, startled by her reflection. Having showered and dressed, she turns to her computer, digitally manipulating a photo of stencil graffiti on a meter box with the addition of seven red balloons and a speech bubble in a row. The printout of this image, folded like a ticket, is slipped into her leather jacket's pocket.
Left alone at home with a note from her mom, who is at her yoga class, mentioning her father's discussion with Mr. Kucharzik and an appointment for her to be picked up pre-ten for hospital visitation. She eats strawberries dipped in Nutella for breakfast, expressing concern for Milan's hungry cat. She locks up and heads to Gloria's to retrieve Milan's house key.
At Gloria's, with her host cleaning her old piano, she's met with questions about Milan; specifically whether he has awoken from his coma. There's a brief moment of humor picturing Milan "coming up", even though the situation remains grave. On the update that Milan hasn't shown signs of consciousness while her visit, Gloria sends her off to the hospital with many well-wishes for Milan. She goes to Milan’s place to take care of the poor cat who’s missing Milan, a seemingly lonely creature in the large house. She retrieves Milan's old school bag from under his desk, an object looking pitifully forgotten and left behind. The room permeates Milan’s smell which she takes in, pouring it from his clothes like an invisible elixir. She takes one of his black sweaters and places it on his bed for the cat to give the animal some sort of comfort before she leaves the house.
