** There's an added layer, as Nissa had earlier used the nickname 'Danny-O' more harshly, signalling what she thinks of Danny's willingness to ''get rid of'' anyone who might risk exposing the chain. That Nathaniel uses it now, when it was originally used in a context where Danny was willing to ''kill him'' , speaks volumes.
* Nathaniel's moment with his mother at the Zoo. With their usual relationship being so tumultuous, it's nice to see this calm, happy occasion of an awkward mother and son just having a day out together, and at least ''trying'' to work things out.

* There's something nice about Mr Pelman, who basically adopts Nathaniel whenever he visits his mother's workplace, and worries a lot about ''"him not having a girlfriend yet."''
* It's funny how, after being the one most suspicious of him in the beginning, Danny ends up becoming quite protective of Nathaniel. Nathaniel is the first person he has ever told the whole story to of being attacked by the police and their dog. He had never told anyone that story, but he told Nathaniel, because he needed to understand that people [[TheBadGuysAreCops aren't good just because they look like good guys to society]].
-->I opened my mouth, not sure what I wanted to say, That I was glad he had told me what had happened to him. That it made me sick and angry. That he had more guts than anyone I had ever known.
