Summary
Quentin scours books all day and all night, reading until the words no longer make sense. He catches two fitful hours of sleep on the sofa, and when he can’t sleep anymore he throws his tired bones into the shower, curls in on himself with a sob catching in his throat, covering his mouth so that Julia won’t hear.
He touches himself and thinks of Eliot’s skin.

Summary
"And since we're never going to see each other again, I'd appreciate it if you'd stop making me feel like shit, for once. Think of it as a going away present."
This stupid and immature outburst doesn't rile Eliot up, the way Quentin was maybe kind of hoping it would. Instead, his incredulous anger falls away instantly, leaving genuine bewilderment and a little bit of hurt in its wake.
"I'm - not trying to make you feel like shit," Eliot says slowly. "Why would you say that?"
Quentin scoffs, turning away from Eliot so he doesn't have to meet his eyes. "I get that you were miserable there, but I wasn't," he admits finally, furious at the burning in his own eyes. "And every time you say something about it, about how awful the whole thing was, it makes me feel - I mean, can't you hear the way it sounds, from my perspective?"
He turns around to see Eliot staring at him with his eyebrows scrunched up. "Complaining about the mosaic was like - our favorite pastime when we were trapped there," he says. "It's revisionist history to pretend we both had a jolly good time with that fucking puzzle."
