Really liked the pacing of the action and the mundanity of the prose. I think the focus on times when they are together nicely highlighted the ways in which the reader is in the dark about each of them in the ways that they are in the dark about each other, though sometimes like with his depression it also makes me wonder if the characters are supposed to be said to not know themselves even.
