Bones world is very violent.

He’s surrounded by violence
twenty-four hours a day.

He can’t escape it.

There is no way for him
to get away from it.

Violence has been
his constant companion,
since he was broken into
when he was five years old.

For Bones,
violence is a living,
breathing being—

he hates it.

"For Bones,

breathing being—"

i thought that bit flowed very nicely, it rolls off the tongue. "breathing being" by itself is beautiful

Hi Bobby, images of violence are hateful and lead to violence (except in movies or books where they are for entertainment and are considered fictive)I think Bobby is here a victim of the people around him, he musqt go away.

Thanks Yann,

Bones never did leave the hood. He's still here, and doing well. The hood is Bones home, it's where his family and friends live.

Bones is no one's victim. Bones will die here in the hood.
