Summary
"He watches a plane blink by overhead. He knows it’s empty. There’s nothing outside of this town. No pilots, no passengers, no one to operate an airport. (There’s a word, he remembers, for the sudden realization that every individual you speak to has an internal life. What do you call the realization that half the people you speak to have nothing but empty code and instructions behind their eyes? Is there a word for that? Does he have a soul? Or is his code simply more complex?) 'You know, don’t you. You know what all of this…' he gestures at the Everything in front of them with his hands. 'You know what all of this is.'"
Not long after the Black Mesa incident, Gordon finds himself in a beautiful house with a beautiful roommate, fighting the sinking feeling that he does not belong here, and this is not the right ending for him. On top of a growing sense of dread, he has to contend with Benrey's incessant desire to keep him alive, to an infuriating degree.
