Daytona [...] suspends here comical-Negro shtick for a minute
So is Daytona black or not? Up to this point, it seemed she was, but perhaps not? More of that Pynchon ambiguity...

Out there somewhere in that nomad's field of indifference, riding the Chinese bus into a futurity of imprecise schedules and reduced options
This is reminiscent of the fate of Tyrone Slothrop, in Gravity's Rainbow, pages 738-742 (original Viking editions), where he is "scattered" and eventually sort of disappears from the action, dissolves.
Like Slothrop, Windust:
He's silent, wherever he is. One more American sheep the shepherds have temporarily lost track of, somewhere in the high country of this ruinous hour, cragfast in the storm.

his careless gift of boy's cruelty
