========
Mr David
========

Neither man moves.

When Mr Callan stops being Mr Callan, the world becomes a very dangerous place. It’s safer when he’s tight-reined and violent, telling Lonely what to do and kicking him in the right direction. Brutally thoughtless.

By these signs, ye shall know him. Sweat. Fear. Adrenaline. A thousand wafting self-betrayals, obscured, resented, breathed. And someone dies and someone wins, again, again, again.

When Mr Callan stops being Mr Callan, when he comes wandering with eyes blacker than midnight, selfless and soulless, Lonely’s scent is different. Animal.

No light. No hope. *David*.

He’s never been so frightened of himself.
