In the bus on the way to school the next day Christopher sees 4 red cars in a row 'which meant that it was a Good Day. The psychologist at school had told him it wasn't very logical to think like this but Christopher argued that he likes things to be in a nice order and that people who work in offices are often happy when the sun is shining in the morning and sad when it is raining, even though the weather doesn't really affect them while they are sitting in an office. I think order brings Chris a sense of comfort. Chris's mind thinks logically and literally. For Chris, even emotional situations need to have a sense of order to them to make sense to him.
