This is so fantastically thought out, and the humour in it just makes it more tragic.
And I so agree with everyone about the joys of the spandex and Ned and online shopping and Falstaff with his credit-card fraud, but I admit this stood out the most for me:
"The nights when Jack turns the questions back on him are the worst, because Hal's never sure if that means he's fishing or if that means he knows."
An aware Hal is my favourite flavour :-) and this is wonderfully put together to give a world where his suspicions about playacting and masks and survival are more than justified!
