Empathy: His tone is friendly now and the last words are actually accompanied with a little smile.
18->261
19
Titus Hardie: The rage in his eyes - you see the moment it burns out into a state of *finished*. "Sure. Sure, lawman. You do you." He cracks a can, fills up his mug, downs it, and says: "I'll do Titus and get fucking wasted."
