I can visualize when "the monster changed the shape of its hands even further, making the nest of leaves Conor was lying on even more comfortable" (Ness, page 191). The most vivid sense is touch, because we can almost feel the softness of the leaves. Patrick Ness uses this sensory detail to show Conor's exhaustion and the monster's strange comfort.

I learned that my characters identity is shaped by him hallucinating when the monster comes, hes mom is super sick, they have only one more treatment left and if it doesn't work she could pass away, and he gets bullied at school but a kid named harry doesn't beat him up but his friends do. So what does harry see in him?
