Discuss the meaning of the phrase that appears before the story begins:
"Just because it isn't happening here doesn't mean it isn't happening."

This helps to give them an amazing connection in that they almost always know where the other one is.

Without Pax Peter feels he is not complete and he feels he has lost a best friend. Their connection is that Peter found Pax when he was very young and so Pax does not know how to live without a human friend and Peter knows that and wants to protect Pax.

Basically, it means: Even if it doesn't affect you doesn't mean it isn't affecting something.

Peter is a boy who is learning that in order to do the right thing he must show the hidden side of him that is brave. A character trait that he just might not be able to overcome is that he is very nervous. Still either way he will always be loving and determined.
I think that Peter and Pax have a very strong relationship, and without each other they would not feel like themselves.

"Just because it isn't happening here doesn't mean it isn't happening." I think that this means that even if something isn't happening here the event could be happening somewhere else.

I believe this because Peter says that he can see things from Pax's point of view. Pax knows that Peter will come back for him and Peter knows he will stay at the place they dropped Pax off.
Some common character traits I saw were when they dropped Pax off both of them were feeling scared.

This phrase is used in the story. For example, when Pax was alone in the forest, he was lonely and had no food. Meanwhile, Peter was in his house with food and family.
