Summary
Quentin is possessed by the Monster. Ted Coldwater is dying. Eliot and Julia are doing their best.
---What occurs to Eliot then is possibly the most morbid idea he’s ever had. Julia won’t like it, but he’s-- albeit deliriously-- proud of himself for the levels of pragmatism he’s reaching about the whole situation. They’re a balancing act now: Julia with the moral compass and Eliot with the roadmap straight to hell if it means getting Quentin back.
He walks back to the Monster and switches off the TV, which immediately sets the Monster off. It gets off the couch and glares, makes Quentin’s 5’8” frame entirely too intimidating, and hisses, “I wasn’t done.”
Eliot is nothing if not a world-class bullshitter and turning on the charm for a Monster with barely any concept of social cues is child’s play. He could get the Monster to eat out of his hand, if he tried hard enough. He pushes down the bile in his throat and smiles big, inviting, “I’ve got something better than TV; I’ve got a game we can play. It’s called the Quentin Game.”
