Quote #10
Every night, Jack is with me.
[…] We discovered long ago that we can't touch, even in our dreams. I am as much of a ghost to him as he is to me. We are a breath away—and a world apart—from each other. (33.57-58)
At the book's end, Jack has disappeared into the Tunnels, and Nikki is super bummed about it. But because of the emotional connection they share, Jack visits her every night. Is he a ghostly visitation? Is he a dream? Is he a spiritual sending? It's kind of unclear what exactly is going on here, but we get the sense that Nikki's attachment to Jack is helping him stay alive in the Tunnels. And that is definitely a good thing.
