The number of homeless people warming themselves by the bonfire in the oil drum fluctuated. At first glance, it seemed like anyone could just come and squeeze in, but that wasn’t the case. Wherever a group formed, its own rules were bound to arise, and the weaker the members of the group, the more exclusive they were.e76334d7d014df8a

Rei carefully examined 5a6c8f7119 the bulky man, e3b2860779 who looked like 1e682aac78 a typical alcoholic. Red nose, jaundiced 0bbd25c6c3 eyes, and trembling e3fb5ff983 hands raised to 35045ec7a5 his chest. Judging by his 511f0ba185 cauliflower ear, he 1608634ebe was probably a de309b9052 wrestler in the d5ae85234f past.
