i know, and i've denied you that. i always take more than i'm willing to give in return, and i'll do anything i can to avoid feeling vulnerable. i hate exposing my weak spots, and i hate that they're even there.

you're a good man, sal. i'll tell you anything you want to know.

you're so kind to me. [...] something's broken in my brain because i see that as a challenge, though. i'm a little indignant i'm not getting the chance to be quizzed.

i've been no contact with my family for years but after i learned that my dad died, i drove all the way back to my hometown just so i could break into their house and steal his bag of cremains. i left the urn so nobody would notice and i didn't touch anything else. then i had him put into that hourglass i keep on my desk. i tried to flush the rest of his ashes but he clogged the toilet and fucked up the pipes and i lost my security deposit on my apartment.

you get it. empty empty empty for the dramatic reveal and the who dun it.

i remember eyeballing their cat's litter box but i knew it would give off a smell and then i'd be caught because that's absolutely a Me move. a clean and simple theft was the way to go. in hindsight, i wish i'd stolen some of his personal effects to throw suspicion onto a mystery mistress.

i hope so. i hope the drama and mystery shakes coal city to its core.

any little interest or hobby i had that brought me a scrap of joy, he said it was a waste of my time. so i turned him into a fidget toy. i like to spin him around in his cage for fun. it doesn't even measure time accurately.

i'd like to think i was the most interesting thing about that town. maybe they do. i haven't asked.

he should be grateful. you're right. he could be collecting dust on a mantle in a filthy little house that reeks of cat piss, and now he gets to watch me play factorio and eat my snickity snacks and jerk off.

they wouldn't recognize me if they saw me. which is good if i decide to do any more hometown crimes.

still hold your interest, i take it?

and this is why you're my guy.

don't get me wrong, i still love coal city. there are good people there and i wouldn't be where i am today without them.

it's just that the bad memories overpower the good ones. i was in survival mode all the time.
