They don’t hate you, they are angry at you, those kinds of things don’t just get forgiven just because you’re a pup.” James reaches around me and opens the door to the office, “now buck up.” I flick my eyes up

time I saw him but he has this sadness hanging around him that I can only associate with death, it’s like a blanket he’s cloaking himself in. James closes the office door and Fraction doesn’t even look up, too engrossed in what he’s reading. James nudges my shoulder and I go to take a seat in one of the two available chairs, the room is silent except for the shuffling of
