You could fall in love with me, you can talk to my shrink, you
      can hide a tape recorder in my bedroom, see what I talk about
      from wherever I am when I sleep. You want to do that? You can
      put together clues, develop a thesis, or several, about why
      characters reacted to the Trystero possibility the way they did,
      why the assassins came on, why the black costumes. You could
      waste your life that way and never touch the truth. Wharfinger
      supplied words and a yarn. I gave them life. That's it." He fell
      silent. The shower splashed.
