slaughterhouse

"An hour later she was dead. So it goes." (183). He has just told the story of how his wife died. But he still is completely unemotional about it. The entire marriage was sort of fake to him. He proposed because he knew it was right. He didn't really love her. And now when she's dead he doesn't care either. The only person it seems he has ever cared for would be Montana. He actually loved her. But what happened to her isn't ever fully disclosed. He says she's still on the planet. But most people think she was killed.
