Anywhere But Here
No red kryptonite this time, just leaving; and at any moment he might stop remembering. In the Louvre are thousands of faces, distractions on canvas. In Rome they're skulls, each with a lost story. Clark visits Jerusalem, site of a thousand conflicts bigger than his own. Then he assays Tibet, a slow circumambulation to cleanse his sins.
Lex's eyes follow him with perfect clarity at Teotihuachuan, Bodhgaya...pyramids, monasteries. Finding no peace, Clark tries Kilauea, the North Pole, the Sahara, for weeks on end as no man could survive. Yet he doesn't run mad, and there can be no forgetting.
