He feels closer to them than he has in seventeen years. Perhaps this is how he knows.
Goodness, this killed me. There's so much in this line, there's been the waiting for seventeen years, for death, the longing to be with his friends again, and the inevitable knowledge... 'he knows', he's going to die.
The effect of telling the story reversible works very well. In any case it shows the reader which way the R/T relationship went, and it's so very sad. But it's a great effect, and the ending, the end of all, really did me in. After all this time, it's the end that makes him happy like never before...
