Read this excerpt from extremely loud and incredibly close. i knew i could never let mom hear the messages, because protecting her is one of my most important raisons d’être, so what i did was i took dad’s emergency money from on top of his dresser, and i went to the radio shack on amsterdam. it was on a tv there that i saw that the first building had fallen. i bought the exact same phone and ran home and recorded our greeting from the first phone onto it. i wrapped up the old phone in the scarf that grandma was never able to finish because of my privacy, and i put that in a grocery bag, and i put that in a box, and i put that in another box, and i put that under a bunch of stuff in my closet, like my jewelry workbench and albums of foreign currencies. which word best describes the tone of this excerpt
