Solitude is not as difficult as Rodney thought it would be.

Atlantis is quiet; he haunts its circuitry like a hi-tech phantom, watching it slowly decay around him and waiting, waiting, waiting.

Forty-eight thousand years spent alone in the deserted, dying city is not so difficult. Not as hard as the thirty he lived after he returned to Earth, where there were six billion voices and, by the end, not one he cared to hear.

There is nothing new that his strange half-life as Atlantis' resident ghost can teach him about loneliness, about being alone. Nothing he doesn't already know.
