It was late, and Richard was exhausted and no longer certain of his surroundings.
Anne... Ned...
Perhaps this was all just a dream, a highly unpleasant dream. Perhaps if he lay down for a moment-
His knees buckled, and he collapsed in the gutter.

**IS TOTALLY A SHORT SCARY BALD MAN**
Sweeney walked out of the shop and looked around, positively bored out of his mind. As it was night, the shop was closed, and he didn't have much to do. Suddenly he noticed a man lying in the gutter. He groaned—the last thing his shop needed was filth lying about. He walked over to the man and kicked him.
"Get up," he barked.

Richard groaned a little and cringed slightly.

He rolled his eyes. "Are you deaf, man? I said get up!"

"Just... a moment..."
He dragged himself to his feet, pushing his now-damp-with-gutter-water hair out of his eyes and wavering slightly.

Sweeney gave him a "get the hell off of my property before I call the cops" glare.

"Don' worry, I'b used to it," Richard slurred, raising a hand in a slightly defensive gesture.

He cocked an eyebrow. "What, used to falling into gutters? I can't say I'm surprised."

"Oh, so you're normally this annoying?" he sneered. "Just go!"

"Fine... don't let me detain you..."

"Thank you!" he said, and started walking back inside.

Richard briefly leaned against a lamppost and pulled out the picture of his family. He looked at it for a long moment, then tucked it back in and began walking away.

Sweeney saw the picture briefly—it was the drunk and what he assumed was his family. "What happened to them?" he asked, softening a little.

"Oh, they're still around," he said bitterly.
