Michael remembers Peter Lukas. It remembers that Peter Lukas took Michael Shelley on his way, that he was the pilot of the vessel that led him to his doom. It remembers the Peter Lukas that did not look at Michael, barely saw him, and the Michael that - desperate, at times, to talk to someone that SAW him, and not someone who looked through him, increasingly saw him as a sacrifice already made - walked after him, sometimes, and hovered desperately in his presence.
Peter Lukas rather liked Michael Shelley - a very lonely boy.
The Spiral is not lonely. It cannot be, should not be - it should not be human enough to be lonely. Perhaps that is why Peter smiles when it sees it, reaches out and touches its face with a cold, solid hand.
Is that why it aches when Peter Lukas then walks away?
