Something from another life is the word “Safe” to describe another person.

In that little demented microcosm they say that because they’re all paranoid. They have to say a person is “Safe” so that other people trust them. Plus they’re all ****ing themselves over. (Stealing and/or not delivering other people's drugs etc.) 100% glad I left that scene.
