    Summary

    “I might as well tell you what I see, based on the psych books you’ve read, before you tell me your point of view,” he snarks. “I see an orphan who’s trying to forget. To forget his dead girlfriend, his parents, his aunt and uncle, and the guilt on his shoulders that he won’t address. And so, he lashes out, and he does drugs, and he drinks, and he can’t identify his own emotions anymore because he’s been pushing them down for too long. He’s reckless with his own safety at night, and he’s reckless with how he treats his body, because at this point he’s practically given up. He doesn’t care if he lives or dies. He doesn’t try in school, because he’s bored. He knows just about everything when it comes to the real world, and he knows everything high school has to offer, but won’t apply himself to a university because he’s scared. He says he’s going to change, but he never does, because forgetting is easy. And so he’ll do anything to forget.”
    —excerpt chapter 22

    Summary

    Dream is pleased with the progress he's made with Tommy, but he worries. He worries that his friends might pull him back, worries that Tommy will stop believing him. Luckily Dream has a plan. After the disastrous beach party he lures Tommy somewhere new, a cabin in the middle of a snowy biome where he couldn't leave and no one could find him.

    As Tommy becomes more and more isolated with Dream convincing him his own memories can't be trusted and he's a danger to himself and his friends the L'Manburg citizens race to find their missing friend and take him from the clutches of Dream's manipulation and bring him home.

    Summary

    “because you want to die for love,
    you always have.
    Imagine this:
    ...
    You’re going to die
    in your best friend’s arms.
    And you play along because it’s funny, because it’s written down,
    you’ve memorized it,
    it’s all you know.
    ...
    Imagine:
    Someone’s pulling a gun, and you’re jumping into the middle of it.
    You didn’t think you’d feel this way.”

    -Richard Siken
