One part of the story that he is telling to Kemp, shows that he begins to be obsessed with stealing and robbing places, for the need things. He goes to some town where they have all their shops hooked together, so he waits and waits till they close the store to begin stealing the things he needs. Well they finally do close and he steals money, and whatever other necessities he thinks he needs. He was planning on leaving right away but fell asleep, and awoke in the morning and heard people downstairs. He started trying to escape and the people heard him, and they could see him because he had clothes on. I think that is really stupid if you are going to rob a place and they can't see you, why do you put clothes on so they can see you. Well his reasoning was on the right track it was winter and it was cold, and I guess when he is invisible he is naked. You would think he would like make invisible clothes or something, so he could keep warm.
