Connor is helped, appropriately, by his own half sister, grown up Margaret, who is smart enough to help him interpret his clues and sensitive enough to nurse him through the corresponding emotional journey.

Connor’s endless introspective attention to detail and his self-analysis.

His best friend Connor, who is narrating the story, thinks up a way to talk to Branwell. He writes words on one side of 12 cards, and letters on the other. Then Connor points to each one, and Branwell blinks twice when Connor points to the right word or letter.
