Phoenix didn’t sleep the night he was disbarred. He put Trucy to bed– in his own bed, he didn’t have anywhere else to put her– and he called Miles.

“No,” Phoenix shook his head. “Not tonight. Anything else.”
They sat on the couch under a pile of blankets, and Phoenix finally let Miles explain the Steel Samurai lore to him. An hour into the discussion, Phoenix finally smiled. Then he laughed.
It was past midnight when they put in the DVDs.
