I should very much like to meet him properly. You speak so fondly of him; I can't help but think he must be a wonderful man.

[After all, if Tim is kind surely his partner is, too.]

Oh yes. Right until the end, I found it beautiful. I think...

[His voice, always so gentle, softens further.]

I don't mind that whatever is left of my body remains there. The other men, I feel badly for them, they deserved good Christian burials back home. But for myself... to have my bones bleached and broken upon the shale, below the most brutally gorgeous sky you've ever seen...

[He smiles.]

I would be quite content with that.
