Summary
‘They said later that all the sorry souls of the Mississippi had waited their turn long enough. Oh, it was a cruise steeped in death from the start— all endings are deaths, if you think about it. These are haunted waters, always have been, and she was a ghost if ever I saw one. You heard of the old black train? Let me tell you, the Greeks, you know, they had it right. Before there were trains, there were boats. Ain’t nothin' older than a boat. That tour—the very last… we didn’t know it then, but, hell, they did. The dead always do, in the end.’ — Witness statement.
September, 1921: the SEVENTH DAY departs St. Louis for New Orleans. It goes not silently or darkly: they say its passengers dance all night and day, dragging the river out slow enough to turn minutes to hours, days to weeks, nights to days and back again. They say it’s ten times the size of a Mardi Gras float and twice as grand, patronised by the richest Baron in the south. Its shadow is vast and broad—the vision of an ending.
But it is a beautiful vision, while it lasts.
Besides—is it not said that all endings are also beginnings, in their way?

Summary
"What about what we're really celebrating?" Dandy smiled, knowingly, and held up the space polaroid she took during their ceremony.
It was slightly off center and lit poorly due to the flash, but it was still clear. Pyke and Rett, in front of the podium of the tiny venue, locked in a passionate embrace.
The sight both warmed Pyke's heart, and stopped it cold.
"You're right, Dandy!" Chuckles exclaimed, thrusting his own champagne upwards – which, despite having come from the same bottle, had inexplicably turned into root beer. "To Pyke and Rett! For taking one for the team and putting on that ol' ball and chain!"
(5 times Pyke doesnt think his marriage of convenience is all that important, the time he's sure it is, and what he does about it)
