35.) Sign
"I might throw up on you."
When the kid decided it would be a good idea to introduce himself after he said that, Leonard should have seen it for the sign that it was. The kid was not normal.
Given that he wasn't really in his right mind at the time, Leonard forgave himself for missing that sign, there would be plenty of others to remind him on a continuous basis. Like when he had thrown up on the kid and Jim still sought him out.
When the kid had shown up rather drunk and gave him a ring on a chain, Leonard knew there would be no getting rid of the kid. Not that he wanted to, even if the kid did seem to attract trouble to himself and whoever was next to him.
