    Summary

    Ray Garraty is never interrogated about his escape from the Walk; it simply does not happen because the opportunity never presents itself. But if it had, if it did, all he’d remember is this.

    No more, no less.

    Complete.

    Summary

    Pete wanted to melt together into one being, like that old story Ray told him about how people used to have four arms and legs and two heads until the gods tore them apart. He wanted that, wanted them to be so intertwined that even God could never, ever separate them again.

    That was the poet in him, the romantic. The practical part of him knew that was all impossible. Instead, they did the next best thing: fucking each other's brains out whenever possible.

    Summary

    McVries didn’t say anything, but when Garraty looked at him, he was smiling a soft, sad smile. “Ray, I’m so tired.”

    “Sleep on me,” Garraty said. “Just put your head on my shoulder. I won’t let you fall.”

    ~~

    When Garraty realizes how much McVries means to him, he decides dying with him is preferable to a lifetime without him. So he convinces McVries to walk off his last three warnings.

    And the Crowd watches.

    Because while the Crowd demands blood, there's only one thing that captures attention more than human suffering.
