[A shadow of something flickers across his face when Carmy says that. Wilhelm isn't sure if there's such a thing as the afterlife, but he hopes there is. He needs it to be real. The particulars of it don't matter much to him — it could be heaven or hell, a blankness they're all suspended in or never-ending darkness. It doesn't really matter, as long as Erik is there.

He wonders if Carmy is the older brother or the younger one. It makes a lot of difference, he thinks, in the kind of person you turn out to be. He also wonders about the difference between have and had. Wilhelm still talks about Erik in the present tense — I have a brother, he's four years older, wait, no, now it's only two, then it'll be only one — as if somewhere out there he could be walking around, smiling and warm and alive.

But he doesn't ask any of these things, he just accepts the man's statement with a nod. His hand, with the key still in it, has fallen back to his side.]

Yeah, I hope you get to see yours too.
