Though Finch has some control over language when he writes songs and writes about the Euthanasia Coaster, he still seems to be struggling (as when “time folds” and he blacks out and comes to on his run). He’s happy—euphoric, even—but he also can’t separate his happiness from his thoughts about death. And he confirms here that Violet saying he’s easy to talk to makes him feel like someone sees him as a person, not someone odd and unknowable. And this, too, gives Finch something to work toward, since he wants to be the only boy Violet sees.
