Summary
One thing leads to another, they find simple company.
It's two old men, both forced into retirement--one died too early, one didn't die quick enough. They meet, ignorant of each other's past and history, and they find they don't mind sitting beside each other every afternoon on the park bench. But soon enough, they'll realize that this ignorance is the only shield one of them carries against the sins of the other.
Because one is a revolutionary who died too early, one turned into a hypocritical empire that didn't die quick enough--they're each other's antithesis. They know that their little friendship wouldn't survive past that revelation, but while the truth hasn't yet been revealed, they can bask in each other's comfort.
