“We’re not in this place to be perfect, Peter,” James says to him, staring at the hovering moon, smoke clouding in front of his face. “We just have to be, in the way we think we ought to.”
“I don’t think I do a very good job of that,” Peter says.
James looks at him, then looks away. “None of us do,” he says. “We all care the most about the things that don’t really matter in the end. What matters is us. Just us. We’re all fucked in the head, and a bit brash, but we wouldn’t be us if we weren’t. We wouldn’t be doing the universe justice if we didn’t live the way she meant for us to.”
A moment.
“James?”
“Yes, Pete?”
“How do you think you’d want to die?”
James closes his eyes. “With friends,” he says. “Quietly, and surrounded by friends. That’s when I’m at my best, so that’s how I want to go.”
or, seven years is a long time. read closely, and there you'll find a glimpse of it all in clumsy unfolding fractals.
