The Fool, the Zero card, dressed in motley, dazzled face to the sky, foot about to come off the cliff. Pierrot. It wasn't Michael at all. It was her. You fool...And which one was he? The Magician? She'd thought he was. She'd thought he had it all lined up. The world spinning on his little finger. Or else the Hermit with his lantern, looking for the true world. But no, here he was.

The world stops being a puppet show and you see the real thing. It's probably like that all the time, but you just can't see it, except for those little glimpses" (pg 82).

Lacing his fingers in hers, he tenderly bit her knuckles. She would have been the only one applauding.
