How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph) or (Feed Chatter #.Paragraph)
Quote #1
I guess if I'm honest? Then I was hoping to meet someone on the moon. Maybe part of it was the loneliness of the craters, but I was feeling like it was maybe time to hook up with someone again, because it had been a couple of months. At parties, I was starting to get real lonely, even when there were other people around me, and it's worse when you leave. (1.8)
We find out right away that one of Titus's motivations is that he's looking to hook up—so, successful moon trip? He's been without a youch unette (that's "hot chick" for all you uncool types) for a few months, and is looking to get back in the game. Sounds like a great basis for a lasting relationship.
Quote #2
I was unhappy because Loga and I had been a diad, and now when I ran into her at high speeds it wasn't anything like when Link ran into her at high speeds. I thought she and I should have a little secret way of collision. But usually we sailed right past each other. (2.13)
Sad face. Loga and Titus were once an item, but the connection's fizzled: when they bump into each other at The Ricochet Lounge (literally), there's no magic. She's all about throwing herself (again, literally) at Link. Way to literalize things for us, Anderson.
Quote #3
She sat down in the chair by my bed. I could see the curve of her nose against my pulse, which was green and bumpy.
We sat there for a little while. I was thinking, This is nice. We're just sitting here. We don't have to say anything.
I felt real contented. I lay my head back on my pillow. (12.13-15)
Here, Titus bonks us over the head with the idea that Violet is special. Earlier, he said he needs the noise of friends; here, it's the exact opposite. With Violet, there's no need for words. They can be comfortable just hanging with each other, not saying anything—and not m-chatting anything, either.
