Chapter Four
Royse’s confidence in me is a dicey thing.
He falls asleep n***d beside me without a thought for his physical safety, but he never offers me the entry code for his front door, and in the morning, he buys me a day pass to the Eris Station Amusement Globe, suggesting that I’ll be safer there than I would be waiting for him two doors down from where his father sleeps.

I don’t bother trying to convince him that none of his stuff is worth more than his help in Clutch’s heist.
