Quote #10
Tom was there too, his lying, oh-so-believable voice stilled forever. How many times had Matt entertained himself with thoughts of Tom's downfall? Now that it had happened, Matt felt numb. (38.36)
There's no doubt about it: death is no picnic. Though Matt had always anticipated Tom's death with glee, when it comes around, he seems... confused. And we can't blame him. The fact that so many people died is sad, of course, but it also means that Opium might finally have a chance at becoming a better place.
