Dream LXXXIX

There was a man who loved Wolverine's wife, and he was the leader of a group of three thieves. I was his second-in-command.

He was silent for a while, then he told me about his father--a judge. When he was a child, his father was the only person who took his questions about pressure seriously when he was a child.

He then fell silent and I knew he was not going to change his course. I prepared to ram my ship into his
