Chapter 18 Summary

Hugo asks Wallace where Alan is and if he is okay. Wallace lies and says that Alan crossed on his own and he is alright. Harvey leaves, claiming to have a headache, and everyone is confused about what happened when time starts again.

With his week left on Earth, Wallace experiences all stages of grief over again in quick succession. Wallace eventually tells everyone the truth, and Hugo tries to bargain with the Manager, but he doesn’t come. Wallace thinks about what he will do with his last few days and is determined to help Nancy. Hugo tries to refuse, but eventually gives in. Hugo invites Nancy to the tea shop along with Desdemona, who Nancy trusts. They hold another seance to try to contact Lea, but after an hour nothing happens.

Hugo asks Nancy to stay behind once Desdemona leaves, and he tells her that Lea is gone. Nancy is appalled that he would say such a thing and goes to the door, but Wallace calls her name, and she stops. Nancy watches as Wallace erases a chalkboard on the wall and begins to write things that only Lea would have known about.
