Len’s shit eating grin. He thought that whole thing was just hilarious. I keep hoping all the corrupt bastards involved are ostracized by everyone they know

The part where he asked his mom what inconsistent meant, and her not knowing slayed me. You could see he was struggling and she also had a limited education who was just doing her best to trust the system.

Any form of early intervention failed him, the…
