In which Pat Rin has not attempted to be sensible recently.

It’s pretty apparent that Cheever and Pat Rin are friends now, however sudden and uncomfortable the beginning of their association may have been. Which, as Cheever points out, is liable to cause a problem if Pat Rin can’t get past thinking “That’s my friend in danger” when it would be more helpful to take a step back and look at the longer view. (Or, in Natesa’s case, “That’s my beloved in danger” — which is an admission I think Pat Rin’s making explicit for the first time.)
