At his funeral she does not give the eulogy she gave him previously, deciding that "funerals are for the living". To her bewilderment, she finds that Peter Van Houten has attended Augustus's funeral and, as he tries to reconcile with her, Hazel realizes that he wrote An Imperial Affliction because someone close to him had cancer. It turns out she is correct, and that he lost his daughter to cancer when she was eight years old. Hazel talks to Isaac, and he mentions that Augustus said he was writing something for Hazel, but Isaac did not know what it was. Hazel believes that it was the alternate ending Augustus had promised to write for An Imperial Affliction. She searches his room, her room, and any other place she believes it could be. She finally comes to the conclusion that what he wrote was not for her, but perhaps for Peter. She emails his assistant who promises to look for it. Hazel then learns through an email that the missing pages of Augustus's notebook were actually a eulogy he had written for her, and wanted Peter to proofread. |
