Ghost Of Spirit Bear

Cole is excited to tell Peter about his success in finding peace by the mall, but when he tries the same with Peter at the park, Peter can’t focus amidst all the noise. Cole manages to envision a rain drop falling on a spirit bear before making its way into the earth, up through a tree, and up into the sky. When it rains back down on the spirit bear, a cycle is complete, and Cole feels more at peace.

The following week, Keith harasses Cole but doesn’t attack him, instead only threatening and bothering him to make his life difficult. Cole decides to go see his father unannounced to confront him and tell him he misses talking to him. When he arrives at his father’s office, he finds his father busy at work and angry to see him. Cole’s father tells Cole that he is a disappointment and believes Cole will never change. Despite his father’s harsh words, Cole says that he is doing well and that he misses him. His father is cold and refuses to reach back out. Cole leaves with tears in his eyes, feeling foolish.
