I started asking that and other questions do you live alone, why not sleep, why those obsessive-compulsive opening the doors several times, wrapping the napkin in a certain way. might have post-traumatic disorder something that happened in the past manias. Everyone has a public persona and a private key. And then there’s that connection between Young and him. was sees that what they do to the girl’s sad that someone has to pay for it. Y will end up paying, “he said.
