I believe there are two sentences in the excerpt that reflect the main character's uneasiness with his family history, and those are:
1. The full contents of the chest never came quite clear, perhaps because he didn't want to know.
2. His mother had once tried to explain the paper to him, but he hadn't wanted to listen.
