#104: Kiki had been spending most of her nights under a glowing sign that read "REDEMPTION" but not finding any. It was, to be fair, the best slot in the job rotation at the arcade she worked for.

I saw this sign in an arcade in Austin on a doomed family road trip in 1992 or 93. I don't think a "clever" first line was really the right thing here, but anyway, that's where it came from.
