rediscovering an acquaintance who is still an asshole.

Two plants let their leaves unfurl in the sunlight a small window provides and split the differences of life unevenly. The one closer to the window shows an overbearing sense of vitality: by the end of the season, the plant may bear fruit! The other - overwatered and consumed by moldy bugs - has no future.

The plants lay still and silent when a stranger enters the room, and grow even quieter when they leave.
