The relationship between Tyler and the main character has a deeper unheard of meaning I feel. Tyler has never had any interaction with Marla unless they are in bed together. Whenever Marla comes in Tyler just "vanishes." He seems to have a grip over protagonist on a much deeper level. He has some kind of "initiation" with protagonist in which he says "your life before now has been a story, after this the rest of your life is a story. He then proceeds to kiss the protagonist's hand and an odd mark is left behind. His lips were covered in a poison that will turn into a strong acid if water is applied. He then talks the protagonist through a somewhat spiritual journey similar to the therapy at his seminars. He tells him not to cry, because the tears will burn his hand and he says he must except that death will be his fate one day, let go. And when he opens his eyes there are burn marks on his hands and Tyler is crying. I don't know the connection between Tyler and our main character yet but I'm more than excited to find out.
