8 Cuno "Stay the fuck away from Cuno! You smell like bum shit!" He backs away from you, wrinkling his nose. "Cuno's not a bum. Cuno doesn't touch that shit."

  • 12
12 Cuno "Fucker! Cuno ain't buying that entrapment shit. Takin' kilo from the pigs... what, you think Cuno's green shit?"

48 Cuno "You need to rethink your tribute to Cuno. Cuno's not taking the cage just because you fucked yourself in the face!"

54 Cuno "Reminisce with Cuno: first you try to fiddle this -- then you punch yourself in the face? What was up with that?"
  • 55
55 Cunoesse "Yeah, Cuno!" The sycophantic pipo-wearing pup behind the fence agrees. "What *was* that?"

57 You Say nothing. [Leave.]

  • 69
64 Cuno "How are you gonna make Cuno forget that shit, huh?"

  • 109
101 You "You're right, I shouldn't give smokes to a kid."

  • 124
124 Cunoesse The sound gets louder as the child shouts at the windows overlooking the yard. "Help! Pigs got Cuno! Help! RAPE!"

  • 135
135 Empathy He seems glad someone understood what he was going for -- but right as he's getting distracted, you hear a malevolent hiss from behind the fence...
  • 123
136 Empathy The boy knows he has an addictive personality. Admirable insight for his age.
  • 123
137 Empathy He lays the names out there with pride and precision, like cards on a table. Right when he's getting distracted, there's a malevolent hiss behind the fence...
