The prisoner managed a weak smile and then a sigh at me. He seemed to be getting more demotivated. Day by day. At first when I ha to give him his rations he was full of life. Excited. Hopeful. And now I watch the light slowly dim from his eyes. I dumped the tray of food on the floor next to him. And then I left. I didn't want to have to see him like that. Skizz his name was apparently. I didn't want to learn anything else about him. Jimmy was as Jimmy as normal. They had turned into a canary and were doing a few laps of their cell but turned back into their chosen human form when they saw me. "Hi, EX!" "Keep your voice down." I put the tray down on the floor. "I don't get much company. I get lonely." They shrugged. "Xisuma mentioned you yesterday." Jimmy visibly tensed. "What did he say?" "I don't remember. He looked like a kicked puppy though." They look thoughtful when I leave them. A traitorous thought comes into my head at dinner. And I know what I must do.
