He spends much of his time exploring the town on his own, hoping to find something that will make him feel less alone. One afternoon, Paul finds himself wandering through a park. The park is empty, except for a group of older children playing in the distance. Paul watches them for a while, feeling a mixture of envy and loneliness.
