Towhee was somewhere near but with the move, Rye wasn't sure where exactly. Didn't she tell him? He couldn't remember.

The man felt hairless, exposed to everyone, all his flaws, failures and lies written on his body for others to read and mock. Even now, as he searched for his long time friend he wondered if it was the right call. He pondered if he ever made the right call, or did he simply fall into the right places at the right times.
