I don't know if it's been discussed before (it probably has, it's kind of inevitable after reading the book), but I just read #48, and I'm really stumped. There are so many feelings in that book that Rachel, and David, go through, until, of course, you get to the end, and she's sitting there in the alley staring at David, the rat. And he's begging him to kill her, and she cries, and then she says she wants to do the right thing, but doesn't know what that is, and the end just leaves you hanging. So what are your thoughts? Do you think she actually did the 'right thing' (according to David, at least) and put him out of his misery? I personally believe she would have, although it would have come with immense guilt, (which she, in a sense, already had) as I personally don't see her going back to the rock outpost and depositing David back there... I'd even venture to say it'd be a worse fate than death.
