"No, I mean, like I came here from 2013, say, and one of my friends comes from 2014. Sort of thing," Noah says without thinking. Different time periods don't have much to do with it, it's what they've experienced with each other. "What really shook everyone up, for instance, is that our friend Gansey was here in Darrow, and then he disappeared. But now he's back, and he's from later. But he doesn't remember this place at all of course. So that's...that's more what I meant."

"But, anyway," he continues with a sigh, "we were looking for a sleeping king's tomb. So that's not going to be here." He almost laughs at the idea, though they all know about Glendower now, so it's not like it matters. But it wasn't even that anyway. It was that they were on the quest together that mattered. Now they're just...living.
