Chapter 6: Meeting Joe’s Family
Adam drives his car into a suburban neighborhood where Joe lives. The sound of his sports car alerts some in the neighborhood.
They find it surprising to see such an expensive car as almost all of them are middle-class people.
They will never be able to afford such a nice car in their life.
Adam stops his car right in front of Joe's house.
"It's a nice neighborhood," Adam says looking around.
"What are you on about? You live in a mansion. Compared to that, this place is shit," Joe says.
But he doesn't know that Adam has experienced living in much worse places. He has even slept on the streets.
"Well, compared to my house, this really is shit," Adam says as it is, catching Joe off-guard again. He gets a little irritated but doesn't do anything.
One feels nothing when they self-deprecate, but when someone else points it out, it hurts their feelings.
Adam did just that, and consciously. He doesn't give a shit if his words hurt Joe or not. Why should he care about this selfish, backstabbing motherfucker?
Adam unlocks the door and gets out, and so does Joe.
