Also, Zane wouldn't have died, there wouldn't've been a mind-rain (I'm sorry, but it made things lame) so Dr. Cable, Shay, Fausto, Ho and Tachs wouldn't've been "cured". There would've been another book (not Extras, something GOOD.) I think Shay might've died in the end, because I tend to kill off my favorite characters. But it wouldn't have been a death like Zane's. She would've died to save Tally, once they reached an understanding. Then... I dunno what with David... But Tally and Zane would have the beautiful ending they deserve.
