Hal's prolepsis: digging up his father's head with Gately and John Wayne

texture · YG (2010) frame

• When: narrated late Nov YG as anticipated/known future or vision
• What: Restrained on the gurney, Hal thinks of "John N. R. Wayne, who would have won this year's WhataBurger, standing watch in a mask as Donald Gately and I dig up my father's head." The novel's key forward-reference tying Hal to Gately and to JOI's buried head (the Entertainment master-cartridge lore); triangulates with Gately's Too-Late fever-dream (see event 117). Arc-relevant even though not a completed event on-page.
