The cleaning continued without problems. Pxan made sure that all photos were in closed boxes so something like that would never happen again. Never again.

The day after he searched for this Bad Mace James on the computer, he found two old newspapers.

While travelling to check a ‘noisy old lady’ Pxan took the occasion to ask James to hang out sometimes. James agreed. Pxan became very embarrassed because he didn’t use to hang out with people, and the few times that he did he was insincere. Pxan was always insincere.
