Chapter 25 - Holden and Phoebe

in the last chapter Holden goes to meet his sister for the last time as he wishes to run away somewhere where no one recognises him. When he walks down the street, he seems to remember everything relating to his sister, like the time where he goes shoe shopping, this makes him kind of happy and sad at the same time because he is about to leave her. After telling Phoebe that she can't come with him, they spend the rest of the day on the carousel rides, whilst watching Phoebe have a really good time, Holden gets a sentimental feeling because he is being reminded of his own childhood and how happy he used to be. Seeing Phoebe have such a good time, he lost his urge of fleeing from the world and himself, even though it was raining pretty hard, he still wouldn't move to shelter because he enjoyed seeing his little sister have the childhood he had already passed. In the end he is persuaded to stay around and his feeling of happiness is returned to him by his sister.
