Severian and Agia enter the Garden of Everlasting Sleep, which is both a park and an aquatic cemetery. They meet an old boatman searching for his long dead with, "Cas." His boat is to small to ferry them. Severian stumbles and loses Terminus Est in the Lake of Birds and dives in after it. Hilarity ensues (cue the Yakkety Sax music).

That poor, old bastard in the boat. Couldn't he have found another hobby? A lot of old folks like jigsaw puzzles. I mean, that Cas must have been a SERIOUS hottie.
