Explanation[edit | edit source]

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

After years of struggling to forget his old owner, Lyman, the repressed memories of him suddenly return with full force. Seeing Lyman again back in 2012 only made things worse, as does the picture of him on Jon's mantel. He begins to regret his decision of wanting to go back with Jon and Garfield when Lyman tried to keep him with him. In fact, he'd probably rather be with Lyman at this point.

But Odie cares for Garfield too much to let him see him upset, because then Garfield might worry about him. So he tries to act natural when he's around. But how long will Odie be able to keep this up? How long until Odie snaps and becomes irreversibly depressed?
