When they arrived at Citadines in Berlin their room contained two Van Gogh paintings...
Particularly going through the possibility of nowhere to stay in Berlin, Kate would remember how Van Gogh tried to express something which no-one really wanted to know in his lifetime and yet he was lauded as a genius after his death. They both could relate to that sense of knowing you must do something and sticking to it despite what the world says.
Sometime between Christmas and New Year in this apartment, as they sat down to eat, the song on the radio brought a tear to Dave's eye:
"And now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now"
