If you've met Paul Avery before, there's a small chance you might not recognize him. His features are much more worn, there's a generous amount of gray in his hair, and the circles under his eyes are more pronounced than ever.
He's sitting at the bar, both elbows on the counter. The bar has provided a bowl of
lapel buttons, and a
series of
newspaper clippings for his entertainment.
(Remarkably enough, he doesn't seem very entertained.)
Every now and then, he'll cough, and you can almost hear his health deteriorating.
Regardless, he has a tumbler of vodka in front of him, along with an ashtray and a half-smoked cigarette. He knows better, yes. He will act upon it, no.
