(Spoiler warning)

For some reason, I assumed that Hazel hallucinated Van Houten during those last few chapters of the book because she was left so utterly shaken by Gus's death - as well as the fact that she, too was close to death. Maybe speaking with Van Houten (or, at least, the one her brain imagined) was her way of dealing with Gus's passing - Van Houten had been through the same as her after losing his daughter to cancer. Maybe talking to someone who had gone through the same thing was her brain's way of creating some closure for her. I'm not sure.. I'm probably reading into it too much but anyway
