Boston is not suicidal, just fatalistic. Fatalistic plus reckless and people automatically assume suicidal. This logic is compelling, but flawed.

Boston lies on the deck, lets the sky rain all over her. Memphis is holding out for the end of the world; but Boston has seen the end of the world, and it is not that great. No drop, no monsters; the map only starts over again, reincarnated blue. Boston isn’t here for the end of the world; she’s here for him, unjaded and spry – unspoiled by cartography.
