There is something Chandler's Peter Marlow here, something Inception like and the darkest Romeo and Juliet yet.
And still pulling up out of an encroaching rising sea into night is a profound compassion for a boy, the verification of love filled souls and a friendship whose tenacity outstrips the scars of a terrible war of a human ruined planet. I loved it. And no doubt that I shall immerse myself again in its powerful tank sometimes in the future when my soul need a recharge.
