How does Graham's story connect with the other two? The only connection I can see is him walking past the scene of Grout's accident, but I'm sure there must be more than that. I can see several connections between Quiss's story and Grout's but nothing connecting Graham's with either.

Stock is late getting to Sara's flat because Grout put sugar into the motorcycle tank (which is also what causes the accident to Steven).

In Graham's walks past the canal, he walks past the same tunnel that leads to where Grout is staying.

And, of course, the last book that Ajiya picks up to read (the one with the title page missing) is from Graham's first chapter.

I think there were some other hints. They are all on the ephemeral side. (less)

About Quiss and Ajayi (*spoilers*)... The brief description of the old man and woman playing tabletop games in the institution's library, seems to suggest that the Castle may be a shared delusion/hallucination of two elderly people suffering from dementia. Sounds far-fetched, maybe, but most of the book is like that anyway. :-) Did anyone have a similar thought, or am I just taking a stab in the dark here?

Shauna That's what I assumed, otherwise why mention the two playing board games at all?…moreThat's what I assumed, otherwise why mention the two playing board games at all?(less)
