[Crane remembers their first meeting, recalls their tense pleasantries and introductions, and finds himself becoming more suspicious. He seems pleasant and unassuming, but he doubts anyone finds his company a pleasure.
Which begs the question what does this man want?
He controls his emotions and makes himself difficult to read. One meeting can be circumstantial, two indicates motive, three creates the beginning of a pattern. But doesn't a pattern start at the very beginning?]
Not bad at all. I think it treats me as well as it treats yourself.
[Think not feel.
In any case, this world treats him the same as any other place. The world is bricks and stone. What treats you - excludes or invites you - are people. And he is quite done with people.]
