Palmer wore a bitter expression, utilizing all his brain cells to start pondering these unresolved mysteries.
What troubled him wasn't this scheme, but Church himself, and upon further reflection, his former partner was indeed exceedingly mysterious.
Palmer often chatted with Church about his family, shared tales of his childhood, his hobbies, and experiences, while Church would listen patiently, occasionally engaging in conversation with Palmer.
In retrospect, Palmer noticed an oddity: in his interactions with Church, it had always been a one-sided exchange of thoughts from Palmer, with Church seldom expressing his own ideas, let alone talking about his past.
Though the two were once inseparable partners, when it came to Church's past and his previous experiences, Palmer couldn't say a single thing about it.
This stark contrast, which he realized late, left Palmer deeply unsettled, making him question whether he ever truly understood Church.
He never really understood Church.
