The story takes place after the "911" incident, the father of the male protagonist died in this accident. With his father gone, he was plunged into extreme pain and sadness. Traumatized people, they will constantly recall the sounds, scenes and pictures at that time, and they may be afraid, sad, and self-blame.

When he found the tenant of his grandma's house, he told him about his father and the story of looking for black, and the tenant was willing to go with Oscar after listening. On the way, because of the long distance, the tenant said that he would take the subway, because he could not walk very far and the subway was faster. Oscar is terrified of the subway (he thinks all public transportation is a target and dangerous), so the tenant leaves him a note [Sometimes, we have to face our fears]. At the same time, in the subway, the tenant told Oscar not to think about anything. Oscar said it was like an oxymoron, so they started playing. When they were walking back, they encountered another swaying wooden bridge. Oscar said that he did not dare to cross it. The tenant left a note on the nail on the bridge at a distance [if you cross the bridge , I'll tell you my story] The tenant in the story, like Oscar's protector, takes him little by little to break through his fears and support what he wants to do, warm and unrestricted. His appearance opened Oscar's heart again and found the feeling of open-hearted exchange and adventure with his father. Although he was disappointed with the ownership of the key in the end, it was not the same as what he thought at first, but in the process, he gained the love of most people, reconnected with his mother, and he slowly discovered that even without a father, it is not impossible , He slowly regained the rhythm of life, his sky cleared up again, and Oscar's psychology underwent post-traumatic growth through this process.
