In the second chapter after his grandfather died he was broke down and sort of going crazy because he had lost his best friend. Then in the third and fourth chapter he transformed and went to the orphanage to find clues concerning his grandfather’s life. Another brave and heroic event was when he went to meet the headmistress. In the passage it says “They walk up the solid steps that lead to the porch.
