The information is overwhelming, and Lee doesn't know what to say for several minutes, just looking at the young man's earnest face, his expression sympathetic and maybe a little afraid, worried about the bad news he's delivering.
In the long run, no matter where he is, Lee probably doesn't have much more than months. Even if this latest clinical trial had helped, it was only going to add weeks to his life, not years. He's spent the last few years of his life systematically separating himself from people, from things, ridding himself of attachments. There's nothing he had in Minnesota or Louisiana that he needs, nothing to miss, not really. And there's still a chance this is just a dream, or a hallucination. He's learned how to let fate carry him; he won't fight it now.
"How far is the train station?" he asks, blinking his eyes into focus on the young man's face.
