"I planned to keep my distance, thinking a few meters of separation would be sufficient. But when he saw me, he sprinted off the path and into a thicket of brush. I went on, hoping he was OK but knowing he didn’t want me to check."
A few days ago, when I was out walking in my neighborhood, I thought about this section from Killer in the Retroscape (https://books2read.com/u/3npP0P).

It's a different world, where shunning your neighbor is considerate rather than a slight.

And when they had unraveled its mysteries, the only question that remained was, could they survive the brutal truth?
