I went to Felix’s home.
His mother, who had been throwing tantrums on the ground, had long since passed away, and his father had remarried and refused to take care of this paralyzed son.

The whole person emitted a strong stench.

I pulled up a chair and sat down by his bed.
“Felix?” I asked him.
Perhaps due to lack of food, he could no longer make a sound, only nodding slightly.
“I was your sponsor in high school.”
