Summary
“A dinner out, with drinks, music, and dancing,” John continued almost bashfully. “You said, someday, when we returned to Arkham…” His sentence trailed away.
Suddenly, everything slotted into place, as did the meaning in that now-so-distant promise. It hadn’t just been about returning to Arkham, but when they were no longer running for their lives. When they were no longer threatened by insane, all-powerful gods from other planes of reality. When they weren’t bleeding, and broken, and feeling more and more inhuman as the days went on.
When they had finally scrounged up a scrap of peace.
And they had. Somehow, miraculously, they had that, now. Peace. Calm. A life of their own—lives of their own—separated and comfortable and, dare he even think it, stable. By comparison, of course.
How had he allowed that promise to slip by the wayside?

Summary
He watches light float in through the windows from cars and streetlights. He ignores the slurred rambling of bar-hoppers and conversation of late-night workers that cross under their apartment. He smells the soap Arthur used to wash up and the odor of smoke and gasoline from the lifted window.
John inhales all of it, holds it, and lets it out.
The body that was once his lays four inches from him.
And he wishes he could return to it.

John gets a body.
He now has to deal with not being in Arthur's.

Summary
"You can see the color," Arthur says sharply, cutting off John's uncertain descriptions.
"I have always been able to see colors Arthur, is this not something humans are capable of?"
Arthur lets out a huffed breath, something John can't decide is frustration, exhaustion, or humor at his expense. "No John, most humans are not able to see color until they meet their soulmate. Some never get to."
