| 29 | _THIS MAN REFUSED TO OPEN HIS EYES_ | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | Paul read this on an old mugshot in the library. | ||
| 32 | He had taken the [bus][] into town to check out a few books on woodworking and got distracted by the True Crime section. | ||
| 33 | He found this mugshot in a book titled _Crooks like Us_ that was published in Sydney. | ||
| 34 | He liked how cities were named after women, or how women were named after cities, whichever was true. | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | The man in the picture's eyes were tightly shut, as though he'd just come into the brightness of day after being dark inside for a long time. | ||
| 37 | His head was tilted up and slightly to the right. | ||
| 38 | He was wearing a short light tie with hash marks, and a pinstripe suit. | ||
| 39 | Paul wished the [photograph][] was in color. | ||
| 40 | He was standing in front of a plain brown wall covered in fabric. | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | The man's eyes were not so tightly shut as Paul first thought. | ||
| 43 | His eyebrows lifted away from the eyes, giving the man a bemused look. | ||
| 44 | His mouth was slightly opened in what seemed to Paul like a grin. | ||
| 45 | This was accentuated by the man's ears, which were large. | ||
| 46 | Paul wasn't sure why the ears made the man look happier. | ||
| 47 | He wondered what crime he had committed. | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | Above the man's head was written [_T. BEDE.22.11.28 / 203 A_.][emilia] | ||
| 50 | _THIS MAN REFUSED TO OPEN HIS EYES_ was written over his suit, directly below his ribcage. | ||
