Summary
After a while, it's almost as if Smoke's trying to disappear, blend in with the scenery - if he doesn't allow Mute a second glance, doesn't come into focus, he can remain a vaguely positive addition to his life without ever needing to be analysed and deemed inadequate. He's satisfied being a background actor.
He's also painfully aware that lying to himself has become by far the easiest habit where anything Mute is concerned. But he doesn't want to go and spoil it all by saying something stupid.
