Chris shaved for the first time in five days. On earth he shaved everyday. Clean shaven was the way. He didn't look good in a beard. His was patchy. Looked like pubes. Unlike Keith who could grow a majestic beard. Cal was clean shaven. But Chris didn't know whether that was because Cal shaved everyday or just couldn't grow anything at all.
Chris looked at the two faces across from him. The younger guy Cal was chewing like a pig. Keith was neat. Always wiped his mouth after a few bites. They were eating the version of eggs. Which weren't real . More some efficient kind of egg liquid goop that they heated up in a pan.
"So you're guy no longer uses any data."
"No. Strangest thing. All he did before was look at his phone. While driving around."
"Didn't he drive to the middle of nowhere?"
"Yeah that's the thing." He looked around. But then he told the other two the town name. You weren't supposed to talk about those details, but nobody followed those rules.
Keith was taken aback. But tried not showing it. The town name reminded him of a place Marianna had mentioned. She had only mentioned it in passing. Not a place she was fond of or a place she wanted to go. Keith couldn't remember now what her connection to the town was.

I didn't even remember a character called Chris existed until I revisited this.
