Sure enough, at the end of the workday Duty messages Falco while everyone gets their things ready for the daily trip to Sanctuary. Thankfully, many things work to reduce corruption, such as conversation. The little transitions, even when they accomplish nothing else, contribute to the process. Remarkable really what minor rituals can do. That sense of togetherness likely does more than commentary on the activity of crabs or the best way to cook them. That's what colors between the lines.

Duty says farewell there once he sees Falco and makes his way over. "Ready?" he asks.
