The Jesus K meets here is not the one from a week ago. Not entirely. He holds himself apart, watching K, his chair in a corner where he can see all windows and exits. He doesn't get up when K approaches--sitting means Mango can't pull him forward and tear out his stitches, and then he's still hurting badly enough he just. Doesn't.
But he watches K in this moment and it feels like maybe he's made the right call this time.
