It’s rough out on the edge. Life is a thing to be cherished, for one tiny slip and you can find you’re staring down the barrel of a gun and trying not to wet yourself or get killed.
Been that way his whole life and it still turns his innards inside out when he comes into such a situation.
He tries his damndest to be on the side of the person holding the gun - if he's not the one with the gun, that is. Makes life less dicey. Ups his chances of survival.
Because that's all there is out in the black. It's a fight for survival and everyone is out for themselves. Gotta make it on your own.
