X (Monday the 15th of July 1957. Harding Park, Seventh Ward, New Orleans, United States of America)

Sitting on the sidewalk after five has gotten me in a lot of work in the near future from Ista and Louis.

They allowing me to see Andrei after five because we make a deal for me to clean out Louis's house by myself. Luthor offered to stay at Luthor's house because will make it easier to clean up because there wasn't a lot of damage to the house.

I know he only offered to stay in the city because he wants to meet up with his friend but not add one more work for himself.

Hearing footstep took me out of my thoughts. Look towards wears I hear the step I can see Andrei walk towards me entirely with his shoulders slump and wear the same clothes as yesterday. His day and situation must have been worse or than I thought.

But then again, how bad did I think a situation was in the first place.

"Hey," he said raising his hand so the snuggly while walk closer to me.

"Hey," I said to him. 'I should bring him and his sister clothes next time' I thought while getting the bag off my back.

"Here," I said, handing him the bag.

"Thanks but with this and the one from yesterday we will be good for the next week," He said, but equally with his usual nonchalance expression on his face and his eyes, they told me he was grateful.

"Okay, do you want clothes," I said, trying to act as if him not having more clothes than the one seen him wear was not a big deal.

The pause that took him to answer me reminds me of that joke that was going around in my first life about how the three hardest things for a person to say.

In my first life did not truly understand why it was so hard to said those with me being rising and shelter in the higher part of society.

But see Andrei's war with himself and knowledge that yes, he and his family need help made me understand just a little bit.

"Yes," he said, clenching his fists in his pocket.

"All right, how long your community been back," I said, not commenting on what I saw him do. And trying to change the subject at the same time.

"Since the sixth," He said my eyes widen at what he says. The hurricane only truly stops on the fifth day of this month. That means his family came back the next day.

"We did not go far" He stayed as if that makes it better. His sliding made me come to the unwelcome conclusion that his family could have been some of the dead body flowing around.

"My family came back in the Ninth," I say, trying not to focus on that conclusion and give my mind off it.

"Mmm" Him doing that is what truly took my mind off my thoughts.

"What," I said, focus more on him to see what he means with that response.

"I drop by your house on the eight, "He said.
