29_THIS MAN REFUSED TO OPEN HIS EYES_
30
31Paul read this on an old mugshot in the library.
32He had taken the [bus][] into town to check out a few books on woodworking and got distracted by the True Crime section.
33He found this mugshot in a book titled _Crooks like Us_ that was published in Sydney.
34He liked how cities were named after women, or how women were named after cities, whichever was true.

36The 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.
37His head was tilted up and slightly to the right.
38He was wearing a short light tie with hash marks, and a pinstripe suit.
39Paul wished the [photograph][] was in color.
40He was standing in front of a plain brown wall covered in fabric.
41
42The man's eyes were not so tightly shut as Paul first thought.
43His eyebrows lifted away from the eyes, giving the man a bemused look.
44His mouth was slightly opened in what seemed to Paul like a grin.
45This was accentuated by the man's ears, which were large.
46Paul wasn't sure why the ears made the man look happier.
47He wondered what crime he had committed.
48
49Above 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.
