btw in italian it totally sounds like "cerco" which means "to search", proko and noah are both searching for love and attention, it's fate
it's sad is what it is, poor things always searching for something
but maybe they could find it together and spend undead time doing nothing but talk about their past lives, or what they remember anyway, and maybe eventually they would realise that they didn't need the company of the true living as much as they needed someone who understood the experience of not being as much as everyone else and they would pull each other into some supernatural existence where instead of making each other more they make each other less so noah will become more of a ghost and proko will become more of whatever it is he is, but it's not human, not really
if ronan is a blessing and brings proko to cabeswater to wake him up (cause obviously he survived the crash, kavinsky wouldn't have made him fragile) i expect noah to spend lots time with him, okay, especially in the mourning period
also i tried to remember what czerko reminded me of and i just realised i'm pretty sure there was a phd student called that at my old university
