characterization
“"Adams." A man disengaged himself from the crowd and came forward. "Hi, Steve," Mr. Summers said. and Mr. Adams said, "Hi, Joe."” It seems like joe and steve know each other, making this seem like less of a personal thing and more ritualistic, theres lots of examples of people seeming familier and friendly with each other which makes it a bit crazy that people would just murder each other, it shows real dedication to tradition
