Listening to her drunken lament over this Theodore ignited a flame of jealousy in Holden, though he knew he had no right. Still, he couldn't suppress the bitter envy bubbling up within him.

This surge of irrational jealousy only served to infuriate Holden further. Gently forcing Ariana to meet his gaze, he asserted firmly, "I am not Theodore. Look closely."

Blinking blearily up at him, Ariana persisted, “But you are Theodore! You look just the same as you did five years ago!"

Realizing she was too drunk to recognize him, Holden reiterated firmly, "No, you're confused. I am not Theodore."
