For Five, today has been almost eventful.
Taking up tutoring physics students at the college doesn't pay much. But since Five made the decision that he's effectively retired, it fills up the hours. After his stint alone in Darrow, he'd become more of a recluse than he liked, and at least this gets him out of the house. And despite his body finally being of legal age in the city, there's not much work out there for an 18-year-old that doesn't involve flipping burgers.
Today's student wasn't a complete idiot at least, so Five's in a pretty decent mood. But drained, so he as soon as he gets home, he makes a bee-line right for the kitchen for a sandwich.
Only, when he opens the pantry for bread, he finds there's only one heel of the loaf left in the bag. And suddenly his day isn't so good anymore.
"If you eat the last of it, you buy more!" he shouts, not sure who's even home to hear him.
