** Cecil mentions in particular the reuniting of two Night Vale citizens named Wilson and Amber. [[spoiler:Wilson, in the heat of the moment, proposes to Amber, who he'd apparently only met once or twice. Amber declines his marriage proposal, but offers to get dinner with him instead. Wilson agrees and tries to laugh it off, saying it was nothing, and Amber insists she thought nothing of it, but Cecil insists that both of them took it very seriously.]] It's an incredibly sweet moment.

-->Perfection is not real. Perfection is not human. Carlos is not perfect- no, even better- he is imperfect. Everything about him, and us, and all of this is imperfect. And those imperfections in our reality are the seams and cracks into which our outsized love can seep and pool.

--> There is a car. It's not in Night Vale, or even in the desert which cradles our little town. It's out somewhere, beyond that. There are many cars there, but I'm speaking only about one- blue, squarish, with tires and windows and an engine that works most of the time. A woman is driving it, and she is also glancing whenever she can at the child in the passenger seat. He is a child, but he is 15. You understand. She is glancing at him, but she is not saying anything, and ''he'' is not saying anything either. She wants to cry or she wants to push him out of the car. Or, she wants to go back in time and insist on using a condom. Only she would never do that. She wouldn't change any of this, really. Not for all the money, piles of money, some of it defunct money from defunct and absent governments. She wouldn't give ''any'' of this back. So she drives her car, blue, squarish, with tires and windows and an engine that works most of the time. And she glances at the 15-year old child, and neither of them speaks.

* After 16 episodes of sounding like something of a StalkerWithACrush about Carlos, Cecil proves that he really is a good guy by quietly accepting that 'sometimes people just don't call, and that's okay' and that he isn't going to pressure Carlos into anything. Of course, it just makes it even more adorable when Carlos does actually call him.
