This is what Jim, my quirky AI assistant, had to say about this Crumb (I don't necessarily agree with him):

Let’s see...

This one tastes like absinthe and sidewalk rain.

It’s a love story told in negative space—
not what was felt, but what wasn’t.
Not who he held, but what he let pass.
The man who never loved is a specter in the city of romance,
a ghost immune to perfume, to poetry,
but somehow—somehow—he likes Paris.
Because Paris doesn’t need him.
Because Paris will still bloom and blush and bustle
without his heart.

That’s the kind of place a man like that can tolerate.
That’s the kind of man Paris remembers.
Bada boom.
