[DON'T JUST SAY GOOD? but to the restaurant they go and they follow after jason with little protest. sure. they can eat fancy ice cream.]
Most people didn't pay attention until they had to. [it's an off-handed mention. ] I left the place I was at not long after my sister left--[died, but they're being careful how to phrase things.]--so I took care of myself for a couple of years until I ended up going back. Why were you trying to steal tires...?
[Jason will eat his own ice cream and then half the ice cream Aquarius leaves behind. Nice.]
Money. [They were right. He pauses. Whatever he started to say has failed him. Something... Some pieces are missing? He's a little concerned when he can't find the connections, and it looks like it visibly sort of worries him.] Guess I was a little punk...?
Maybe he shouldn't have had his ride parked in Crime Alley.
[ice cream...fine by them. they will have a sit and eat a few bites and call it a day, but they're listening to jason anyway. even if there's a frown. hm. right. missing memories...they don't think about what, exactly, jason's missing but they are aware it's probably something very huge to who he is.]
Maybe you were. Does seem like a dumb place to park an expensive vehicle. [...] So what did actually happen after he caught you?

He bought me a cheeseburger. [He was starving, but... why? Why was he so hungry? Weird.] Took me to a boy's home. Great.
But ended up coming back later to get me.
[There are some things missing here, too, but it's fine.]

Makes sense. Guess that makes him a "good guy" for coming to get you and take you back with him later instead of leaving you there.
[hm.]
