“Keep your shit password protected”

The Human Serviette dished out a barrage of random life-hacking gifts and name-drops, sending Caesar down visibly confused wormholes, chasing fond memories he’d long forgotten and graciously accepting tokens of his family’s (both blood and creative) past, including a pin of the label art from a 45-inch his father cut as an aspiring and ultimately jaded Jamaican musician.
