"It's as though I never existed. They appear to have forgotten me, there's another man in my place... There was no use in trying to convince them."
He took one shaky, angry step toward Sweeney.
"But what the bloody hell do you care? I'll be on my way, thank you."

"Richard. Or at least I think it is... Maybe it isn't. Maybe I'm someone else entirely."

*winks and blows kisses* Sweeney nodded. "Well, how about we try and fix that? I have a spare room."

"Richard, I'm not the one in the gutter. I wasn't planning on stealing anything from you."

"Then why would you-"
He stopped talking, blinked, and toppled over unconscious.

Sweeney sighed and picked him up. He carried the poor wretch into the parlor and laid him down on the couch. He felt for the man—losing one's family hurt. He couldn't help but take pity.
