Long Answer
1. Patina encourages Castle multiple times. One example is after he fell at practice. She tells him everyone falls. She guides him through some confrontational feelings about Lu. She also encourages him to return to practice. (Various chapters)
2. Coach buys Castle his silver bullets after prompting Castle to return to the store and face the person he stole from. Coach reveals in conversations with Castle that he understands some of what Castle is going through; Coach grew up in the same area and had an abusive father. He would understand that Castle’s mother does not have much money and is working very hard to guide Castle. Running is central to both Coach’s and Castle’s lives. Coach is a mentor to Castle, wanting him to succeed and to have the tools to succeed, in this case shoes and integrity.
