The protagonist's mother must have been killed by Childs. If it wasn't for him, he wouldn't have put a red stamp on it, because he didn't know what was going on, and would simply ignore Shin.

Boy Wonder quotes

  • [first lines]

    Young Sean: Who wrote that one?

    Mary Donovan: Bach. Johann Sebastian Bach.

    Young Sean: I think that's the best.

    Mary Donovan: Well, I don't know if there's a best. Music is subjective, it's different for every one. When I hear Mozart, I feel... out of breath, dizzy, overwhelmed. When I hear Bach, it's more like a good movie. What about you, what do you feel when you hear Bach?

  • Gary Stenson: Did you grow up in a big family?

    Teresa Ames: Yeah, I did. Why?

    Gary Stenson: That explains it.

    Teresa Ames: Explains what?

    Gary Stenson: You got look-at-me syndrome.
