Quote #7
"But Bonnie's the only one who believes me about Cuddledown," he says. "And I wanted to call you. Only not if you're a drug addict because drug addicts don't know what's going on." (22.20)
It's not because she's an addict that Cadence doesn't know what's going on. Nope, her brain is clouded enough all on its own without assistance from the pharmaceuticals.
Quote #8
"You feel like you know me, Cady, but you only know the me who comes here," he says. "It's—it's just not the whole picture. You don't know my bedroom with the window onto the airshaft, my mom's curry, the guys from school, the way we celebrate holidays. You only know the me on this island, where everyone's rich except me and the staff." (39.14)
Cadence doesn't make an effort to know Gat outside of Beechwood—to do so would mean a serious shattering of romantic illusions. But can you really love someone if you only know them in one context?
Quote #9
Sometimes I wonder if reality splits […] Everyone has duplicates of themselves in these other worlds. Different selves with different lives, different luck. (54.65)
Here's where Cadence gets all Matrix on us. Red pill or blue?
