Her wages are garnished.

She has about nine hundred dollars a month to live on after the garnishment and the rent and I know that figure because it is in her bankruptcy schedules, which are public, which anybody can read for two dollars.

She wrote to Silas once.

The twenty-eighth of December 2025, four pages, by hand, to the house.

He read it.

He has not shown it to me and I have not asked and I am not going to.

He has not answered it and he has told me he is not going to, and the one thing he said about it was this, in the shop, about a week later, with his back to me, sanding something.
