The Narrator Now Applies His Gumptionology Theory (And His Own Personal Abilities) to His Problem With Chris.

….“I keep feeling that the facts I’m fishing for concerning Chris are right in front of me too, but that some value rigidity of my own blocks me from seeing it. At times we seem to move in parallel rather than in combination, then at odd moments collide.
