It was a regular day for Manuel. In other words, he had nowhere to be, nothing to do, and no motivation to do anything other than wander around aimlessly.

The anniversary of his sister’s death had come and gone. The emotional turmoil had faded away, but he felt curiously flat, like it had taken the rest of his emotions with it.

He’d had a quick breakfast before he left his flat, but hadn’t even thought about eating anything since then. He didn’t know how long it had been. He wasn’t keeping track of time. He barely felt hungry, and more importantly, he didn’t care.

He walked around, considered stealing something from a convenience store he passed, just because he could, but there wasn’t anything appealing enough to be stolen even for no reason. Eventually he came to a bench, sat, and watched traffic passing by until it was making him feel irritable instead of just empty.

He stood, and that was when the lack of food finally caught up with him. The sudden change in position made his head swim, and he staggered just enough to put himself in the path of someone who’d been about to walk by.

“Sorry,” he said, once his head had cleared enough for him to realise what had happened.

"Do you make a point to avoid them?" Dutch asked. If he knew where they lived and didn't seek them out, he might have a good reason, and she wanted to know it.

"You've just moved away and you haven't seen any in ages," Dutch summed up. "I thought this conversation started with you apologising for lying to me."

"I don't like lies," Dutch told him frankly, stopping on the pavement. So it was a big deal to her, and being mansplained that it wasn't wasn't helping.

Well, double up or nothing, and she'd doubled up. Nice. "Are you safe?"

"What kind of illegal shit are we talking?" Dutch asked, pulling a pack of cigarettes out of her jacket. If she was going to stay out here in the cold, she might as well enjoy one.
