Redding's also an addict, but he's never been faced with something like that. Every time he's had a chance to fall on hard times, his brothers have been there, so he's out of touch with the regular drug addict. I like to think he has a policy about selling to those he deems too young, but he can't control where his product goes after it leaves his hands. Of course, I would love to have Abi challenge all the cognitive dissonance that Redding has about his thuggish life- not that Redding has any illusions about the morality of being a pimp and a drug dealer. His inner monologue tells him that he understands the wastes and the streets are shit, and that he understands not everyone is as lucky as him but he doesn't [i]understand[/i], really. There was a time where he was as vulnerable as Abi, and having someone that's an image of what he used to be- and very well the people who are usually begging him for another hit and not in a position to tell him he's shit- look him in the face and tell him he's a bad person is something he's never had happen to him. It'll be a shock, for sure.
