Make-up journal entry for end of Tail of the Bluebird

Kayo has changed over the course of Tail of the Bluebird. We have seen him go from a very empirically driven scientist to a scientist who accepts both the physical and the intangible. This goes against 1) what Kayo would have thought at first when he took the case, and 2) what we as the readers would have anticipated happening. What drives him to this point? Is there a specific turning point in the novel that triggers his interest in the intangible, or yet to slightly abandon true scientific explanation. As I wrote in my personal essay, "As my athletic career crumbled, I filled the time that I would have spent at sports practice playing guitar in my room. The notes fell into place. Instead of asking for a new pair of soccer cleats for my birthday, I asked for a microphone. Instead of going back to the same sports camp I had been going to for six years, I went to jazz camp. As a result, music now defines me. " For me, there was a defining moment. For Kayo there was not. I am intrigued by this, and will definitely explore this further.
