Feeling as if something is off or missing even though he’s seemingly living the “perfect” life. Maybe thx to past trauma he’s forgotten past events, but still has flashbacks and random bursts of nostalgia. Also, despite being scared of his past, maybe he’s still trying to steadily uncover it. The tape and reader can be a larger starting point of this revelation, outside himself. The reader isn’t confined to the town’s restrictions or delusions of normalcy as an outsider.
