This one fits Chase because- Wait.

I have to talk about him in past tense. 

I DON'T WANT TOOOOO-

I have already kind of hinted to it in Alone, but deep inside, Chase felt kind of the way Linda does. Pressured to be the perfect guy, the one with the magic, the one with healing abilities, the one who is literally LIGHT. 

When the song says Like you, be strong, to all the powers of the sun I like to think that he was talking about Shintaro. He wanted to be everything like his father. Heroic, protective, powerful, and there for his friends always. 

Chase wanted to be the one who can protect, but he always felt that he was the seventh wheel - the friend in the background, the silly guy who was just there to make people smile and laugh. He knew he couldn't change is personality, because that's just who he was, but he wanted to be more like Shintaro.

Remember in the Alone chapter when Chase started talking to Kai about his childhood, and how he was bullied in school? 

When these lines play:

How much can I take? My mind will break. Will it break? What can I take? 

I believe he was questioning himself, how much of this torture would he be able to take if he would endure it again? 

When the song says 

Can I be your superhero? 

Chase was basically saying Will I be able to protect anyone? Or will I always remain in the background, unable to protect my sister, father, or friends? 

It gives me chills when these lines play: 

Oh, gonna give it a shot, only one of me to shield you all from the enemy

Because I imagine Chase throwing himself in front of his friends to protect them. He would definitely do something like that. I know I've kind of made him like the seventh wheel in the book, but deep down, he was a loving, caring friend who would sacrifice his life any day. 

Especially for his sister, the one he was closest to, I like to imagine. It's not that he wasn't close to Shintaro, but I feel that his relationship with Abby was very strong. He loved his sister and would do anything for her.

Chase, you were the best superhero that you could be. 

I love and miss you!!

I'm sorry you had to fall with those doubts in your head. I'm sorry that you had to go through all that (even though I kind of made you go through it all) without telling anyone. I'm sorry you had to die without figuring out how much you matter.
