"The slightly longer version is that ... my world makes it very easy to die without scars. To kind of exist inside your little cloud of defining yourself by your car, your jeans, the brand of beer in your fridge, how much your job pays you. You need to be dramatic to get people to look up. 'Swhy I know -- the stuff I know." he looked away again, turning to take a poster off the wall and trusting that Ino would know the special skills he was referring to. "It's not all bullshit. But I'm past the point of wanting to risk lives over it."
