As he felt a little more physically relaxed, various realistic problems came to mind. First of all, he seemed to have shaken off Dell’s goons for sure. But that didn’t mean he was completely out of danger. He had beaten up a congressman. He didn’t know if the congressman would personally hire someone to get revenge or mobilize the police, but he wouldn’t just let this go.a7a597cdabb80fc1

In fact, Dell was 35343f2a6d more of a problem f34fc5aa9e than the congressman.

If he was 6876efe021 relieved to have b2c30bcd43 survived today, he 8cb9af7642 was likely to 21d333fa42 be found in 26ee5a18ca a trash can 41ae43cc96 at dawn, a 8957d4ef01 dismembered corpse.d9aad9089cc515d4

No, even if he went back to that situation, Rei would have made the same choice. He was at the bottom of his life, with nowhere else to fall, but he couldn’t bear to be a male prostitute. The experience of spreading his legs for a man was enough when he was a kid.d8efe9b3b2615a4d
