Read the excerpt below, in which a narrator addresses a younger sibling who has just left home:
You will tell people the bus station smelled like rain and pennies, and you will be right, but you will forget the sharper scent: the soap on your wrists from washing your hands too long. You kept washing because you thought cleanliness could pass for readiness. When the driver called your city, you stood as if pulled by a string, and you didn't look back, not because you were brave but because you were afraid a single glance would make you stay.
Which choice best explains how the point of view functions in the excerpt?
(Consider the effect of the repeated you.)
