Quote #4

Look, we can't even deal with not remember where we put our keys—and Paul is struggling to cope with missing an entire chunk of his childhood. To make it worse, he knows that his brother has something to do with it. No wonder the guy is messed up.

Quote #5

I'm not going to dwell on this. I'm just going to say it and get on with my life. (1.13.1)

That's the thing about Paul—he is definitely a trooper. But he's not being quite honest with himself, because the definition of keeping a journal is dwelling on things.

Quote #6

But it was also comforting to hear that something around here has a history. That something actually belongs here. (1.15.24)

So things with a history, with a memory, belong somewhere. Maybe Paul's amnesia makes him feel like he doesn't belong anywhere—and maybe recovering his memory tell us that he's finally found a place to fit in.
