Good. The kid doesn't say anything, in fact he seems to be actively pretending that he's not in the same room with him and that's probably for the best. They're not here to talk to one another, they're here to talk about loss.
Mick resolutely doesn't look at Ramon when the leader of the group calls him out, asks him why he's there. So he talks, in short, halting sentences about his partner. "We'd known each other thirty years. Met in juvie when he was too mouthy to keep his head down and stay outta trouble. I shoulda known my life wouldn't have been the same after that."
Thirty years of jobs, of fighting and arguing, splitting apart and coming back together. "And now he's gone. Every day I look over half expecting him to be there, next to me. Every day I wake up looking for a reason to get out of bed now that he's gone and I'm running out."
"I loved him." An admission he can make because he's sure as hell never doing this again. "I loved him and now I got no one."
