And then there's the boy in the suit with the bright white sneakers; Milo imagines him arriving home to a castle with a drawbridge and a butler. But when the boy in the suit gets off on the same stop as Milowalking the same path, going to the exact same placeMilo realizes that you can't really know anyone just by looking at them.
