    Summary

    "I don't believe man can love—at least, not the way that he means. Inadequacies of reality always set in."

    Sophia is dead and his neural circuitry is fried and what happened in Carcosa will never go away. That is his reality. The world spins on, a flat circle on a doomed trajectory, and the suffering goes on forever—but it's a clear evening and the stars are burning, burning, burning. Lafayette General is behind them, and Marty is a warm, solid presence supporting him, and this goes on forever, too, and Rust admits to himself that, whatever they've got, whatever their reality is... it's enough.

    Summary

    Dreaming about work was hell. It meant not even sleep was an escape, but for Carter it hardly ever happened, so he slipped into it with complete naivety to how the absurdity of dreams could affect the way you saw those same people in the waking world.

    _____________________

    It was just like his dream, where his body seemed to act no matter how odd his brain found it. Carter leaned in and pressed his mouth to Benton’s. Benton stiffened against him, and then all at once, Carter seemed to realize what he was doing. He jolted back as if shocked.

    “I’m sorry! I’m so sorry!” Carter’s face burned like fire. He felt like he was going to puke up his own heart.

    It's after they start sharing the bed, Marty guesses, is when he'd gone and started thinking different.

    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.”
