Chapter 5 Summary

Because Niko is a psychic, August decides to ask his opinion about Jane and goes to the bar where he works, bringing him a coffee. She shows him the photo from Billy’s. Niko suggests that Jane might be a ghost and that he should meet her to determine if that’s the case. August asks if they can do something more subtle, and Niko offers to hold a séance to determine whether Jane is dead.

Two nights later, Niko, Myla, Wes, Isaiah, and August gather for the séance, which establishes that Jane is not a ghost and is, in fact, alive. With this revelation, August decides to take Niko to the Q.

It’s the first time she’s ridden the train since Jane rejected her. Sure enough, Subway Girl is there, reading, and August introduces her to Niko. They shake hands, and Niko asks her about herself. Jane seems suspicious. When they get off the train a few stops later, Jane tells August not to be a stranger.

Niko has concluded that Jane is “sort of […] in between. Not here, not on the other side. She feels really […] distant, like not totally rooted here and now.
