Royce didn't like the idea of people knowing things about his future - even only a potential future - that he didn't. We'd been talking about it for a while, we knew it was possible to do, and we'd spoken to people who'd stayed in Norfinbury longer, after we'd split off. He wanted to catch up.

[Which, of course, says a lot about Royce's motives and very little about Alfie's.]
