Oh, I don't think it's particularly funny as in funny ha-ha,. Maybe as in "funny old world."
And I don't have any problem with Eva Lux's line of work at all (except inasmuch as it reflects on Ellis, about which more below). I just find it... odd.
See, the thing about Ellis-speak is that "my friend" means "Somebody I've e-mailed a bunch of times and maybe, possibly, met once. And, if the latter, probably clumsily hit on."
I don't know for sure what she was to him, but from what I'm able to gather, it was primarily an online acquaintanceship. And I find his reaction... I dunno. A little weird and self-dramatizing.
Thought-experiment: If you got word that *I* had died—or Rage, maybe (cos it's all about Rage)—would you be all "I'm gonna miss you so much," and hiding in the corner of the pub so's nobody could see your manly tears?
Maybe not. But then, you've never seen me in my underwear.
Which would be, in itself, guaranteed to make you weep. |
