Chapter 25 Summary

Mika wishes she could drive forever. She goes to the only place she knows: her childhood home. Primrose has maintained it all these years as a place for Mika to live should she need one, but Mika has never settled there because it’s full of bad childhood memories.

Mika thinks about how she has never really mattered to anyone. Everyone who has ever been close to her has hurt her, forgotten her, or both. She wonders if she really exists if no one remembers her, likening it to the philosophical question about whether a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if no one is there to hear it. Before Nowhere House, she felt like a ghost, but now she feels more like a toy that’s been loved to life, like the Velveteen Rabbit. She’s left wondering how much of it was real, thinking about her nights with Jamie in the attic and all the kindness from Ian, Ken, and Lucie.

The inside of Mika’s childhood home brings back cold memories for Mika. Primrose has maintained the house’s electricity, water, and heating; she’d never let her property go to ruin. Mika distracts herself from her endlessly cycling thoughts by tidying the place up and changing its layout to mask the bad memories.
