How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
I edge closer and now I know that it's not Teddy lying there. It's me. (2.25)
The light supernatural aspect is introduced to us in Chapter Two, but Mia never seems all that shocked by her out-of-body experience. Perhaps she's watched a lot of daytime TV, so she's prepared. Anyway, once faced with the reality that she can see herself, she accepts it.
Quote #2
Am I dead? I actually have to ask myself this. Am I dead? (3.1-3.3)
Mia is spectral in appearance, but she isn't quite a ghost. She is stuck between life and death, in a strange invisible state.
Quote #3
The helicopter hits an air pocket and by all rights it should make me queasy. But I don't feel anything, at least the me who's a bystander here does not. And the me on the stretcher doesn't seem to feel anything, either. (4.15)
We slowly start to learn some of the rules for Mia's supernatural state. For example, she cannot feel anything in her spectral form. She's not a body.
