* When Michael tells Harry he needs the latter to do something, Harry earnestly promises that whatever it is, Harry will do it--he owes that much and more to Michael. It's kinda subverted when he tells Michael he can't stay out, but the affection and care on both sides is very clear to see.

--> [[NobleDemon Marcone was still a black hat. The pain and suffering of the criminal state he ruled accounted for an untold amount of human misery]]. [[WellIntentionedExtremist Maybe he'd been doing it for a noble reason]]. I could understand that. But it didn't change anything. Marconi's good intentions could have paved a new lane on the road to hell.\\

But dammit, I couldn't hate him anymore. I couldn't hate him because [[PapaWolf I wasn't sure that I wouldn't have made the same choice]] in his place.\\
Hate was simpler, but the world ain't a simple place. It would have been easier to hate Marcone.\\
I just couldn't do it.

* This is the book where we are first introduced to The Archive. Although she's an seven-year-old girl, she's got the sum total of all human knowledge and wisdom, as well as the collective life experience of every Archive before her. She proceeds to unnerve Harry with her maturity and power despite looking like she could almost be his daughter. But when she sees Mister, Harry's cat, she squeals "KITTY!" like a little girl should and starts playing with him.

* The very last lines. "I took Susan's picture down. I put the postcards in a brown envelope. I picked up the jewel box that held the dinky engagement ring I'd offered her, and that she'd turned down. Then I put them all in my closet. I laid the old man's cane on my fireplace mantle. Maybe some things just aren't made to go together. Things like oil and water. Orange juice and toothpaste. Me and Susan. But tomorrow was another day."
