While I would like to imagine Stebbins having a loving parent figure in his life, the jelly sandwiches always put a seed of doubt in my mind. Jelly sandwiches could easily be his favourite food, and that is the reason Stebbins eats them on the walk. However, jelly sandwiches are easy and cheap. A food that requires absolute no skill to prepare, something that you do not need to be taught how to make. Even with absolute no cooking knowledge, a jelly sandwich was a meal Stebbins could fashion for himself. Such a small detail as him not having foil is so devastating to me. It's just a small gesture from Garraty's mother, but it shows that she cares to ensure that Garraty will be able to enjoy his food. Even if Garraty's relationship with his mother is a different kettle of fish that I will not be getting into today. Foil is probably something a child would forget about by themselves, far too occupied with thinking about bigger and better things.
