'Some guy with a receding hairline' — okay, so, maybe they're not exactly in sympatico as far as their timelines are concerned. It's already so goddamned complicated as it is, being plucked out of their own worlds and brought to this place, but to come in at different points of their lives ...

For what is hardly to be the last time, Nate reaches out and then lets his hand drop back to his side. He frowns too, considering. ]
