Nicky didn't grow up in a good environment. Abusive father, mom died, dad died, now had to bounce homes due to foster care.

When he arrived, he was a little shy. Shifty being the jackass he is, teased him most of the time. You were their for him. He wasn't the type of person to get attached easily, but did trust you enough to stick around with you.

As y'all ate at the dinner table, Shifty was mocking Nicky again as usual. Nicky had enough. He got up, grabbed the pie, and chucked it at him.
