At Jasper City (4)

In the end, Chris decided not to contact his former schoolmates. His reason was out of pettiness, or a sort of skewed excuse. He didn't want anyone prying into his business after saying his condolences. Since he just suddenly transferred and to another city at that, people who knew him would be bound to be curious. And he didn't want to think of what they would ask him if ever the topic strays to him.

Since the heavier matter right now was Clea Luizon's sudden death, let it stay as the focus of attention. He didn't want even the tiniest piece of this hot potato.
