Atmospheric Disturbances 5

Leo has gone off to Buenos Aires to seek Rema's mother hoping to solve his problems. Rema's mother,Magda, doesn't realize that Leo is Rema's husband because Rema and her mother haven't really had contact with each other. He poses as a friend to try and discover more about Rema. He leaves to a diner when Rema calls. When he answers his inablity to lie causes him many problems. He blurts out that he is in Buenos Aires and after the call he realizes his mistake. The reaction was, "I practically ran back to Magda's home"(Galchen 92). He didn't want Rema to call her mother because it might endanger his investigation. His characteristics abd personality are capable of getting him into a lot of trouble. He likes Magda and fears that his relationship with her could be damaged if his lie was revealed. Leo has started to think that this is much more complicated than he previously thought. He thought Rema was fake but now he's wondering, "Who Rema's other "husband" was or had been"(Galchen 94). He has gone way beyond his previous beliefs. He now thinks that Rema had another husband besides him. Everything around him is just getting more confusing as he becomes more paranoid.
He tries to calm himself down after these events. However things only get worse when he gets an e-mail and, "The urgent e-mail appeared to ve from Harvey"(Galchen 98). Harvey has been gone for a while now. His sudden contact with Leo is very confusing to him. He is not quite sure what Harvey is talking about at all. All the things that have happened to him is only making him more wary of his surroundings. This can lead him to believe he has more problems than he actually does.
