"So what do ghosts want to talk about?" Cash asked, leaning forward at the table. He — was not sure how much interest he had in the actual reality of ghosts, beyond flippancy and haunted houses. But maybe if they were talking about something Greengrass liked then Greengrass would remember that he actually did like Cash when Cash wasn't being insane. And while this had sent Cash into one of his weird little brain hurricanes when they'd been in the haunted house, he didn't think it would do so now — not when he was so wrung out by everything else he'd been thinking about all day.

So they could talk about ghosts, and what the dead wanted to talk about, and maybe then eventually the rest of this would all feel doable.
