"There's no safe place for me, is there?"

Danny almost wasn't aware that she'd spoken. It seemed to articulate on its own, a conviction made audible. Riker glanced at her, but didn't respond.

What could he say? It was obvious. School was oppressive, a place to act out and fuck up and fail at everything she tried. Home—forget home, she didn't have a home. She hadn't been to juvie but she knew how it would feel: cold, dark, empty. Like everywhere else.

"This fucking town," he said, at last, passed her a joint.

She nodded, and took a drag.

And yet another reason I can't help but like Riker.

He may be a butt with no aspirations, but he's not heartless. It's like- he knows how rotten things are too and it hurts him too and he tried to reach out, but maybe... maybe he doesn't quite make it.

I imagine him putting his head on Danny's shoulder after and watching the straggle of traffic down the nearest road.
