Speaking of purging... C2 is also also getting rid of old stuff. 

He owned a nice blanket that he hasn't used in years. Decades maybe. He acquired the blanket before his tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, before years of working in D.C. and Colorado. It was too nice to throw out. He never needed it, so he kept it in storage or the closet.

Reality finally set in. C2 was never going to use the blanket. It was just taking space. It was time to get rid of it.

C2 gave the blanket to a thrift shop near him hoping it would find a new home. A few days later C2 saw the blanket in the garbage by the thrift shop. He felt a little bummed when he realized his blanket wasn't good enough for the thrift shop.

A few days after that, while C2 was out for a walk, he saw that someone homeless had claimed his blanket.
