texture · JOI alive, weight-room era

• When: After the E.T.A. weight room was newly outfitted, JOI alive.
• What: During JOI and Lyle's all-night weight-room drinking sessions Mario "literally stood by," drifting in and out of upright sleep on his police lock; one night he woke to hear his father say that if he had to grade his marriage he'd give it a C-minus.
