The Boss relaxes back into his chair a bit. "Ah, I see, my boy." He nods slowly. "I understand of course. Family is more important than anything in the world. The bond we have with our flesh and blood can be replicated nowhere else." He picks up the candy and twirls it in his fingers. "As I said, these sweets hold my demons too. I apologise that they brought yours up. You know what?" He reaches into his pocket and pulls out another candy and slides it over to Ambrose again. "Harvey and your sister wouldn't want to see us like this. They'd want us to figure out our problems." He lifts up his own sweet and examines it in the light. "How about we both eat these and figure out how we can make these memories kinder to us?"

Ambrose nods, relieved that the old man wasn't judging him for his perceived weakness. He shrugs. "You didn't know..." He then gently picks up the piece of candy. He turns it in his hands before nodding. "I think that's a good idea." He hesitates before continuing. "Ptelea wouldn't want me to dwell on the possibility of never seeing her again. He then remembers his missing teeth and frowns. "I shouldn't have candy sir."
