Answer: Brian was soooooo hurt when his parents divorced, he recalls the arguments and the divorce lawyers with anger and feels that his heart split in half. Brian struggles when his pilot has a heart attack and dies, the airplane goes down. He´s so frightened he froze. Brain was struggling to get the radio set of the dead pilot as: ''his hands began trembling again. He did not want to touch the pilot, did not want to reach for him. But he had to. Had to get the radio.'' When he gets the radio set static makes it hard to comunicate to the other end. After a while he finds out the person is gone. Brain feels intence because he´s forced two options. don´t think its what you were looking for but its all I can come up with :/
Thank you for your time,
