Summary
Some little scene sketches from early in Marty and Rust's partnership, and parts of the 1995 investigation. Not in chronological order.
In Louisiana Rust creates his own structure. His work is necessary and not overtly cruel to the larger human organism of which he is a part. He is entitled to the things that allow him to do the work: mattress, cigarettes, books, shoes.
He is not entitled to Marty but has ended up with him anyway. This will backfire.

Summary
“You need me to fuck that mood outa you?”
Rust’s fingers tighten a little around his pen, but he doesn’t look up. “Sex is a chemical prank the body plays on the mind,” he says, and ashes his cigarette.
“Yeah, fine,” Marty says, “but do you want some.”

Summary
He didn’t want to get a fucking therapist, either, is what’s ironic. Like, if it was his choice his therapist would still be a bucket of hot water and the fucking kitchen floor, or a pack of cigarettes, or a new tattoo from a fuckin’ stick-and-poke shop that would listen when he said he didn’t mind if it did hurt just a little, but he’d blown up, again, the way he’s not supposed to, and Sydney this time didn’t leave, this time shoved his ass into the backroom, shut the door behind them, and with her half-confident cadence and wire-strung hands had told him, okay. You need to make some fucking calls, or like, go to like, Psychology Today, okay, dude, because I’m not fucking working for you if you’re not in fucking therapy after this. Chef.

Summary
and there are some like us,
just walking, making our feet move ahead of us,
a little bored, a little lost, a little angry,
walking as though we were really going somewhere,
walking as if there was something to see at Adelaide or maybe on King,
something that will give a fair return for this use of shoe-leather,
something that will make us smile with a strange new
happiness, a lost but recovered joy.- Raymond Souster, “Yonge Street Saturday Night”
