Montreal is used as a setting in which Gale is a stranger, and where he can make new connections and start anew. In reality, he is the same person no matter where he goes, and he himself realizes the parallels between the old trio and the new trio. He salvages the latter friendships only after the first three completely forsake him; Eroica and Catherine mourn the death of their dear friend Louise, and Louise the pianist is forever lost to death.
