Chapter 13 Summary: “Day 6006”

Rhiannon sends a message saying that she has called Kelsea’s house to check on her. No one is home, so Rhiannon thinks it’s a good sign, and that her father got Kelsea help. She also sends A a link to yet another Nathan story, mentioning others who are claiming demonic possession. A sends Nathan a quick email, saying, “I am not the devil” (141).

Today A is Hugo, and his boyfriend, Austin, is taking him to Annapolis for the Gay Pride parade. A is distracted because s/he keeps thinking about Rhiannon, Nathan, and the other lives s/he has recently lived in: Kelsea, James, Tom, Roger. A is starting to hold on to the past, making it hard to be fully present in the different bodies s/he inhabits.

But it’s a beautiful day, and Austin is so excited as he holds Hugo’s hand for the parade. There are some protestors at the event, which baffles A: “I don’t understand this at all. It’s like protesting the fact that some people are red-haired. In my experience, desire is desire, love is love” (142).

During the festivities, however, Austin is noticing A’s lack of attention and gets upset.
