much.
ONE. much is ambidextrous, self-taught. he figures, if you can do this much with one hand, imagine all the stuff you can do with both.
TWO. though he's used to being bullied, there was one time during his sophomore year in high school that he was the first to initiate the fight. he nearly got expelled, because he refused to tell any of the administration and authorities what happened. all he would tell them is, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. one of the counselors in the school finally asked the right question, and much finally told them that it wasn't fair for that boy to talk about his papa, when he didn't know one thing about him at all.
THREE. the real reason much wears all those handkerchiefs around his neck? he has a diagonal scar just above his collarbone from a cut he'd gotten when he was sixteen. he was coming home through the seedier parts of the neighborhood, and the man wouldn't believe him when he said he didn't have anything valuable to give.
FOUR. on that note, much is not a virgin.
FIVE. when he was younger, much had always wanted a sibling, because he imagined it wouldn't have been as lonely as it had been, growing up. now that he's a little older, he's thankful he never had one, because now he understands why his mama and papa look so sad all the time.
NONE. as happy as much is... he's not.
