Your kiss pulls me to the light - Isha and Heinrix share an intimate moment in the Lord Captain's quarters in chapter 23 of Much Ado About The Lord Captain; painted by the wonderful @annahenriart <3

“After we met in 1973, I kept an eye on you... In 1990...”

Daniels story that starts the whole Odyssey of recollection he describes being in a buick with his daughter in a car seat, and the problems with this memory have to do with it being 7 years before car seats were mandatory and Daniel never owned a Buick....

Car seats were made mandatory in 85, with some places as far back as the late 70s. This is a memory that took place somewhere between the early and later mid 70s

As well, Buicks werent....*luxury* cars, but theyre expensive. In the 70s they would have been more solidly middle class likely, something Daniel a guy who was at the time pretty poor going around gay bars for drugs probably wouldnt have remembered having, especially if it was something he didnt even get once he was famous enough for writing a book and he was poor enough he was giving away his last 30 dollars

And the time gap Armand presents would have been after seat belts were mandatory for several years, and people would be used to seeing them
