    Summary

    Gustave dies.

    It is a sordid affair, full of sacrifice and pain. There is nothing beautiful about death, Gustave thinks in the fleeting instant before his nerve endings explode all at once in his chest like fireworks. He doesn’t think anymore after that. Screams echo on the granite of the cliff, drowning the furious crashing of the waves below. He doesn’t hear them. He is dead.

    (This is not how it ends.)

    After his death, Gustave becomes unstuck in time.
