Who is the narrator of this chapter?

Part to reread

The roar of the approaching train drowns Mateo out a little at the end there, but it's fine, I get what he's saying. The real victory here is catching a train instantly.

Why does he say "the real victory here ...?" (see end page)

Part to reread:

Mateo is standing outside the car, shaking his head, and at the last second before the doors close he darts into the empty car ahead of mine, one that has sleeping passengers and isn't blasting a remixed version of "Celebration." (It's a classic anthem, but let's retire it already.)

How does he feel about the song that's playing?

Part to reread:

I take photos of the energy in the car: the guy who's managed to get the attention of the beautiful girl. Twins dancing together. The crushed beer cans and water bottles. And the freaking life of it all.

What kind of energy is in the car Rufus was in?

What does "to toy with someone" mean?

Part to reread:

"At least you won't have to ever worry about your boss firing you for a robot," I say.

"That's a pretty dark bright side," Mateo says.

What does Mateo mean with:
"That's a pretty dark bright side".

Please explain the last sentence:
Mateo not being a daredevil will keep us alive longer, but I'm not banking on it being a memorable End Day.
