He comes to believe that Hannah is a monster, despite his parents' assurances that there is a perfectly normal explanation for everything.
Eventually it is discovered that while in the hospital, Hannah was accidentally switched at birth with the boy's real sister, and she is not related to him at all. She is returned to the hospital.
