"The whole time, Rhea knew what she was doing. Even dancing, even sobbing. Even with a needle in her vein, she was half pretending. Not me.
"I got lost," I say.


Is that what it all is? We're all lost, more or less-- and that's the key to it-- more or less. <-- The more or less part, I mean.

Like let's take a quick look at some explorers....

There's Joe. 25, recently returned to the midwest after Bounce left him to be a crab fisher. Emotionally distant from all, including his 20 year old girlfriend (who we will get to later). Working on and off as a metal framing subcontractor at projects in Indy and Kentucky run by his father's GC firm. Continually pushing his exploring further and further but not seeming to get any fulfillment out of it.

Nik. Turns 29 next week. Lives with his parents in Lincolnwood and works at a furniture store, despite having a real degree. Smokes a LOT.

Xander. 22... Burns his family's cash travelling around the country nearly every week exploring while going to school for color correction. Has fucked up three internships and wants to join the merchant marines.

Tati, 20. Art school transfer. Burning herself out, pursuing a rapidly failing relationship with joe, who is lightyears ahead of her in pain and experience and closed off. Struggling to talk to him, but can't do shit. Stuck and fucked.
