Arthur Lester had a knife. That wasn't necessarily out of the ordinary, seeing as he was standing in the middle of his own kitchen.

Summary
"Six am, and there's a needle in your arm. You can't remember anymore if it's injecting or drawing. Every morning, long, winding tubes pull hot strings of crimson from my arms like the wiring rigging up a timed paraffin explosive. It never seems to work, whatever it’s for. "
(A few months post-book-canon, the narrator comes to the end of his stay in a psychiatric hospital, with Tyler Durden nowhere to be found.)

Summary
"John felt almost dizzy: motion sick and helpless in the heart of the room. For a moment, he couldn’t help but wonder what it might be like to be on the other side of the glass, to drift endlessly in a sea of dazzling colors and hypnotic visions."
-----
John breaks into an aquarium in the middle of the night for a bit of quiet reflection. Unfortunately for him, he runs into a familiar face who has his own thoughts to get lost in as they both admire the ocean life.

Summary
"How odd it was, years removed from the deaths of his family, fucking sober, which he frankly never thought would happen, and loved– so deeply, deeply loved that it was hard to wrap his head around it sometimes.
And yet, it was today of all days that he found himself tenderly cradling Kayne’s dagger in his arms, holding it like a wounded dove, steadily bleeding into his hands.
Nothing had even gone wrong."Or: Arthur hits the end of his rope. Unfortunately for both him and John, he still isn't the sole inhabitant of his body.

Summary
“Rocky rolls his ball right over my foot.
I can’t remember the last time someone stepped on my foot. Maybe a busy conference room or a bustling hallway, years and worlds away.
It’s a weird sense of normal, of home, to feel that kind of thing again. So even as the resulting bruising chameleon color-shifts, easing to a sickly yellow, I keep pressing at it. I keep aggravating it. That keeps the memory a little more vibrant and alive.”

Summary
So Noel touches their left hand, curled too tight around the handle of the mug. “Hey, doll, what about you? Didn’t get much of a chance to chat last time.”
He’s half-expecting a flicker of either guilt of annoyance in Arthur’s expression when he asks, but it doesn’t come. He’s reacting the same way as John– like he’s been caught off guard. John’s eyes flick away from him.
“He’s been… okay.”
Something is absolutely wrong. It’s so obvious that some part of Noel almost wants to laugh.
