Darry's manner towards Ponyboy changes when he sees Ponyboy at the hospital in Chapter 6, after Ponyboy, Dally and Johnny have saved the children from the burning church. At this point in the novel, Darry expresses his worry that he had lost Ponyboy to the fire in an uncharacteristic and unexpected emotional moment. He also acknowledges to Ponyboy his fear of losing someone else that he loves. After this point in The Outsiders, Darry becomes more gentle with Ponyboy in a general way. He is more affectionate and softer with Ponyboy, and he shows more patience and understanding. At the same time, Ponyboy begins to appreciate Darry more and understand why Darry is so strict and hard on him. He shows Darry more affection in turn, behaving in a friendly and familiar way modeled by Sodapop, which strengthens their bond even more, making the three brothers a family in the truest sense.
