   Summary

   Hanzo has lived without certain things for so long that he has all but forgotten about them. Cassidy is a bright red exclamation mark of a reminder, and Hanzo discovers that the saying "out of sight, out of mind" unfortunately also works in reverse.

   Meanwhile, Cassidy is an exceptional liar, and the most egregious of his lies are the ones he tells himself.
