The Boy Who Heard Music - Chapter 20 - Thumbnail
"I♥U2"
In the preantepenultimate chapter, things look rough for our trio but Leila is apparently looking fine as Our Author goes into rapturous overdrive describing the state of her body in 2002 and puts himself into line for a Literary Review award.
Everyone else is in New York for the coming Grid-A-Thon. Josh is there with Victoria, although it's not clear whether it's the real Victoria or Leila's cybernetic imposter.
Gabriel, meanwhile, has taken his neo-Psychoderelict lifestyle to New York's Ritz Carlton where he has hooked up with a hooker with a more than passing resemblance to Leila. He is now hearing voices, specifically the screaming children image out of The Iron Man. He opens a window for more air and hears the tragedies of New York (Lennon's shooting, 9/11) echoing through the streets before his reverie is cut short when he suddenly gets a mouthful of pigeon.
Update: Pete says the girl with Gabriel is NOT a prostitute although she does seem like one. I thought she was. Must have been a Trick of the Light.
