An older man, in trouble all the time, but good in his heart.

Where it counts. Where was just a spot in a wormhole of a warren of Chinatown. Just out of the tourists reach a place many natives had never come across unless they worked for social services. You could hide out here watching pirated cable and drinking box wine on an SSI check and so he did. Seemed like a logical choice at the time. Life had won the battle was done and he surrendered gratefully to his hole in the wall. If you avoid the trendy places you can go for years without running into any of your old friends. Until they came looking for him the apathy he'd counted on replaced by goddamn compassion.
