Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I love flipflops. But the whole reason I like them is that my feet are essentially bare, and I can just kick them off.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I found the 5 fingers to be more comfortable in theory than in practice, gave my pair away.
