"Beat nature?" Gus blinks and looks back at Shawn. "You think so?"

He wants to argue with that, but doesn't know where to stand. So Gus just let's the idea sink in. "Well, maybe. But then again, that could be a sad thing. I mean, nature, the natual order. Animals and people do things a certain way, because that's what they do."

Somehow Gus fell between one of the little cracks of the system, fell there with Shawn. And although he knows he made the right decision, he wonders what else that means.
