Towards the end of the series, even though Rust is a nihilist and does not believe in the fantastical, he has a brief moment of transcendence, when he tells Marty that he felt his daughter’s presence beyond death. He says, “You know, you’re looking at it wrong. The sky thing. Once there was only dark. If you ask me, the light’s winning.”
