Hmm. Carver doesn't argue the point because no, in his experience, not much makes people want to work with each other when they could be selfish, evil little shits only out for themselves. His family was different, but only ever his family. Fuck the rest. They can burn in God's wrath.

But what Paul's saying cuts too close to his own experience. Maybe a coincidence, maybe not.

He shrugs. A casual gesture, on the surface. "Out of curiosity, did the dead come back hungry one day where you're from?"
