Many memories now resurfaced as Peter Brown danced with Moon Smith, methodically sorting through the events he personally recalled.
Although Peter didn't socialize much with his classmates, the issue of Moon Smith had come up while he was sharing a meal with a few of them at a barbecue stall.
According to them, Moon had committed suicide by jumping from the top of the Coastal Entertainment City shortly after Peter went to jail. Her death was a big deal in the county, revealing only after some media exposure that she had a tragic backstory.
Her mother was paralyzed, and to raise money, she was forced to sell herself to a gang in the county. But even though she had done what they demanded, her mother died from gas asphyxiation at home. In her helplessness, Moon jumped off the building.
Peter gazed at her as he thought about her sorry end.
