Today was Nick’s first good day since he’d returned to Morris. Good day meaning he felt well enough to leave the house and fake a few social interactions for the sake of not becoming a hermit. He hadn’t told anyone he was coming back -- not even his sister -- he’d just rented an apartment and moved in quietly. Nick’s walk slowed as he took in the bright, loud mess before him. “Of course, my first week back and town and there’s a carnival,” he mumbled, mostly to himself. "Why is this town so weird?"
