About a year after Gus died, Isaac found himself sitting at the wake after Hazel's funeral. His world was, of course, always dark; but he felt like it had just got darker. The last light had just gone out.
He heard voices coming nearer. It was Mr and Mrs Lancaster and Mr and Mrs Waters.
"You spoke beautifully, Isaac. Thank you." Mrs Lancaster's voice was choked with tears.
"It was lovely," Mrs Waters agreed.
"It was true, every word." Isaac told them. "What I said."
He remembered standing by Hazel's coffin half an hour earlier, the words he had spoken.
"Just before my best friend, Augustus Waters, died," he had said, " I told him that if the scientists of the future showed up at my house with robot eyes, I would tell them to screw off, cos I didn't want to see a world without him. That is still true. But now that his girlfriend, my good friend here, has died, I'm wondering if I can get me some ear cancer. Because I don't want to even hear, smell, feel, taste, be in a world without the two of them. Hazel Grace, he really loved you. We all do. Godspeed."
