I really like the emotion behind Frank's desire to just end it all. As some one who's been there, it felt genuine, especially him telling Graves; sometimes you just feel the need to tell someone this shit, not as a 'help', but just to get it off your chest. I don't know, it just resonated with me.
I know you posted this a long time ago, but I hope you pick it back up and continue it. I'm excited to see who or what is being kicked in the alleyway.
Ah, gotcha! Understood.
