Day for Night - Fragment 2

Yesterday we told you about how Day for Night is getting a lot of attention around the office, and invited you to view a new fragment from the novel each day. Have look here if you missed it, otherwise read on below for our second fragment selection.

Fragment 2:

Many Colors

He was a young man, American, twenty-one when I first laid eyes on him. He’d come with Moti, and I learned that he was Moti’s roommate at the field school. He seemed so young that I did not imagine that what I felt could possibly have consequence. He was the age of a college junior. I would turn thirty in two months. Still I took one look at his messy blond hair, his round face, his skinny arms, and I thought maybe I had traveled far enough away from who I was that nothing I said or did would matter. I thought that pos¬sibly, if given the opportunity, I might do something truly strange or reckless.

Are these the words of someone who is indeed about to do something strange or reckless?
