Part 2, Pages 108-135 Summary

Cat finds herself in Carlos’s class at school and meets a girl named Seo Young. At first, she is thrilled at finally meeting someone who doesn’t seem obsessed with ghosts. However, it turns out Cat is wrong about that, and she is once again disappointed. Maya is still sick and needs a breathing tube to survive. Cat’s mother reminds her that Maya’s disease is degenerative, but she hopes that Maya’s positivity will allow her to beat the odds. Cat falls asleep holding her sister and listening to her favorite song. Cat hangs out with Seo despite her interest in ghosts, making a new friend and starting to find her place in the town. On the walk home from school, Cat encounters another ghost that tries to follow her. She yells at the ghost, “Maya’s not ready!” (124), implying that she believes the ghosts are trying to take Maya to the afterlife. The ghosts appear in the backyard that night as Cat takes out the garbage, and Maya asks to talk with them. Cat rejects her request and tells the ghosts to go away. Outside, Carlos’s guitar can be heard floating through the streets.
