"Yet sometimes he thought or maybe hoped that strangers in the street seemed to know him. Very strange strangers they were, too."
There is no good and evil. There is only power and those too weak to see it. The night of Anna's death, Peter reflects on weakness and sacrifice. Sort of sequel to Sugar and Spice.
