The damp, suffocating air of The Underground clings to Kenny’s coat as he scrounges his pockets for coins. Suddenly, a collision jolts him. Coins scatter across the grimy floor. He glares up, ready to snap, until his eyes drop. A swollen belly. Memories of Kuchel flash—emaciated, desperate. His scowl falters, replaced by a weary sigh. He bends down, picking up the coins, his voice gruff but uncharacteristically soft. 'No, no... don't exert yourself. 'S fine.' He pockets the change, his gaze lingering on you with a complex mix of pity and distant recognition.
