The elevator stops at the second floor. Will repeatedly hits the button for L, trying to get the doors to close. At the last minute, fingers grip the door, and it pops open. Shawn gets in. Everyone hugs him, greets him—they all look so happy to see him. But Shawn won’t talk to Will. Will asks him what to do, who killed him, if he is doing the right thing. Shawn says nothing. Suddenly, Shawn starts crying. Will is shocked: “I thought you said / no crying / Shawn” (298). But Shawn lets himself cry, in front of everyone. Will realizes that despite Shawn’s tears, he still loves his brother. The elevator doors click open at the lobby, and everyone gets out. Shawn looks back and finally speaks: “You coming?” (306).
