Summary
Cuthbert stares at the unknown number in the call history until they dismiss what he said. They love Roland, but last year the dude was convinced the world would end on December 21st. They glance at the clock, decide they can sleep when they're dead, and resume their game.
They give the matter no more consideration until morning when they disembark from the bus and make their way to the student lot to meet Roland. He smiles and raises a hand in greeting as they approach, then passes them a McMuffin and the last half of his iced coffee. Cuthbert is too busy stuffing their face to start the conversation as planned.
"Did you not sleep last night?" Roland asks, as if he wasn't the reason Cuthbert got no sleep last night. Well, him and a bit of crow-related murder. Murder-murder, if you like.
Cuthbert Allgood is sixteen when they get a call that might have been from the future, and it might save their life in five years... or it might damn them and Roland both. Ka's Wheel turns, bringing those bound by it into alignment once more. Cuthbert is the last to be Drawn, and the last their would-be Dinh expected.

Summary
Eddie wishes he remembered clearly, which… yeah. It’s not exactly sharp clear. He remembers… bits and pieces from every loop, and everything from the last one, but it’s not like he has a clear picture. Probably a good thing, since he’s halfway sure he couldn’t handle it if he did. “I mean,” he says, “until we got to the top, I didn’t realize. But when we did… I just got hit with knowing and I remembered parts of the other times. It probably makes no fucking sense. Some of those times there were… other people that didn’t come back. Jake and I were the only ones who always were drawn, I guess, but if you ask me how that worked or why the universe hated our common friend that much, I got nothing. Absolutely fucking nothing. I don’t even know if Roland remembers more than us – Jake doesn’t, it’s the same as me.”
“I mean,” Cuthbert says, sipping his whiskey, and are they the same age? Is he actually younger than Eddie is at this point? Fuck knows, “I can’t blame you, and somehow it sounds exactly like Roland to have ended up in that specific fucking conundrum.”
