7 Half Light Time for THE SHOW. For τὰ ὅλα. The hallowed time of fear and disintegration. A countdown has begun. All will collapse on itself. The world will disappear into a single grain of blackness. All sound will be muted. All life will scream.

8 Half Light Yes. You spoke the words of the παλίντροπος, and the houses of Perikarnassis. Items, people, even WORDS will tumble, all will lose its meaning in the coming years. That is why you marked yourself.

21 Half Light The face of the woman fractures. There will be herd killing. We all become vapour.
22 Half Light Okay, yes. Maybe it *is* just the hangover talking. Or some kind of joke you're playing on yourself instead of working on the case...
23 You I'm... a little afraid.

24 Half Light So you should be. The world island crumbles at your feet and in the far plain -- παλίντροπος.

25 Volition Perhaps -- just a thought -- this has something to do with the hangover?
