• acts of collusion Armand misses Louis like a man about town misses his favourite whore. He misses what only one person is horrid enough to do to him. And Daniel wouldn’t even suggest it, if he couldn’t feel how Louis misses Armand in the exact same way.

• the fog eating the night Whether he meant to or not, Louis had given Daniel to Armand.
