Sorry, Keith. No dice. Gabe isn't used to being told no, and once he has an idea set in mind...

Well, it's not difficult to pull it back to the forefront. See why he is the way he is; why he can look at a boy whose life was imperfect, whose family was fractured, whose childhood was a confused muddle, who had to fight and nearly die from exhaustion with the effort to reclaim some memory of his past, and still hate him for that - still envy him with every inch of his being.

It's easy.

So he lets the story spin itself.
