Once I bite. I never let go. Jagiya.

Its surreal to think how different his life could be if he had been raised an hour down the road. Walking through a town similar to his own yet vastly different. The town doesnt even seem real like randy is walking around a set of a movie hes never seen. The building and people all too put together to happy. The sun shining brighter and hes the only one whos aware of it. Or maybe hes the one out of place.

He finds himself outside a bbbs.

The building is cleaner more put together its an actual restaurant and not some abandoned gas station converted. It is the complete opposite of his own. The only similarity is the sign. It makes his stomach churn maybe its guilt or fear ... but randy knows some of it is anger.

Angry that they had ended up where they did. When its clear they didnt have to. That fate or the universe or whatever decided that they didnt deserve something as nice and simple as a good work environment.

Watching the employees inside who look tired but happy. Helping eachother smiling and joking as they work. Clenching his fists as he glares. Jealous that he never got that. That he and benson were both too ..broken to forged in despair and anger to even get the chance to try.

Benson deserved a nice job. Maybe randy didnt but benson did.

But maybe if that had happened randy wouldn't have even been a thought in bensons world.

And so for that randy is actually grateful that he and benson weren't allowed to thrive in the sun. That they were able to collide in the greasy shadows of their bbbs.
