Yeah. Hanson just didn't like the homeless. Thought of them like vermin, and Jared hastling him over vermin pissed him off at Jared. And his boss was wanting someone to pin the blame on for a citizen getting beat up so Jared was a handy target.

I'm glad it felt like the ending was coming in an organic sort of way. I could have thrown in some extra complications (which may be extra short stories) like Karen's husband coming or Jeff looking up his old family or one of Jensne's former fuck buddies showing up, but really the story I was trying to tell about identitiy and "what makes a healthy person" was told and anything more was just dragging it out.
