In the dream, John looks at him — or through him, more likely — when Rodney strokes his arm, and Rodney ignores the pain of realizing that while John clearly feels affection for him, he doesn’t recognize Rodney at that moment. Not really.
and
Rodney would put up with anything to keep John alive and in the world, even if the world wasn’t the one John wanted.
Getting what you need doesn't always tickle. I loved the original 2 pieces and this one adds even more depth to them. Thanks.
