Mario "knows a thing or two" about Hal's secret highs, and tacitly enables them

texture · YDAU

• When: YDAU; specific instances mid-Oct (037) and 22 Oct (053).
• What: Among those who know Hal gets covertly high, "Hal's brother Mario knows a thing or two." Mario tacitly enables it: on the mid-October dusk stroll he feigns interest in a leaf ensemble so Hal can slip into the pines for "fifteen or so secret minutes"; at 22 Oct HmH supper he stands supported by his police lock and waits the half-hour while Hal "disappears."
