Part 8, Chapter 37 Summary
That afternoon, a “guitar guy” named Neil leads activities. The residents rush toward the pile of instruments in the middle of the room and all start playing music, singing “I Shot the Sheriff” together. Jimmy starts singing the phrase, “How sweet it is!” Craig feels a fondness for Jimmy and thinks that Jimmy must know the two of them came to Six North on the same day. Craig wants to dance like the other residents, and for once, instead of focusing on how awkward it is, he allows himself to enjoy the moment. He and Noelle dance together.
